Crowne Plaza confirms Slow Movement guru

Crowne Plaza has confirmed that “Slow movement” guru Carl Honoré will be hosting its exclusive Think Tank event, “In Praise of Slow”, on Monday 24 September.

To be held from 7pm - 9pm at the Crowne Plaza London - The City hotel in the heart of London, the event will be the first of the hotel brand’s unique series of pan-European Think Tank events, providing guests with an environment to consider or debate new ideas.

In launching its innovative Think Tank campaign across Europe this autumn, Crowne Plaza has brought together an elite group of visionary business leaders, known as “The Crowne Plaza Mavericks”. Selected for their fresh, forward-thinking approach and subsequent success in their field of business, these influential figures will host a series of events across the UK, Belgium, Germany and Italy. Created to offer business travellers an insight into the tools that these thought-leaders use to stay ahead of the game, it will also offer advice and inspiration.

Carl Honoré’s best-selling book “In Praise of Slow” is the first handbook for the emerging Slow movement. Carl challenges the fast-paced environment of today’s society, proving that approaching life slowly actually often produces better results. The UK event will be attended by a select audience.

During the London evening, Carl will encourage guests to evaluate their lifestyles, inspiring them to make their business and leisure time more productive and to take more enjoyment out of the everyday, be it spending time with family and friends or getting the most out of their business relationships. Attendees will enjoy an evening of Sloe gins, slow-cooked Italian delicacies fresh from the hotel’s acclaimed Refettorio restaurant and an introduction to the slow philosophy followed by a Q & A session.

Crowne Plaza hotels are designed with the business traveller in mind and benefit from a unique insight into their needs, having recently conducted the industry’s most extensive travel research to identify the key business requirements of its clientele. The Think Tank events are the first step in a series of measures by Crowne Plaza to create the ultimate business experience.
