VintageKrugParticipantI went along last year. Spent quite a bit of time “hob nobbing” with various senior people involved in delivering service.
All the BA food and nibbles is indeed gratis, the top end restaurants charge, but it’s an easy way to sample several new places and put them on the list for later in the year.
At previous events I have spent 15-20 minutes questioning Willie himself, met Frank van der Post and Abbie Comber several times as well as a few of the catering team, some of whom impressed.
It’s absolutely an opportunity for anyone with a Silver or Gold card to speak to the senior team directly.
All that’s needed is some gumption to introduce yourself. Anyone who is capable of asking intelligent questions rather than just moaning about petty service failures will be richly rewarded.
Anyone who says otherwise is misguided. You can still buy tickets for 20-23 June here, see back in this thread for promo codes:

millionsofmilesParticipantVK: “At previous events I have spent 15-20 minutes questioning Willie himself”
Yes, of course. And he stayed there to talk as well to another 200 people to patiently discussing the ups and downs of BAs food.
This is really a nice comedy, thanks VK and BB.10 May 2013

VintageKrugParticipantHe didn’t talk much about food. We mostly spoke about routes, new cabins and aircraft. There were about six people listening at the time, just in the BAEC Hospitality Tent.
The team are quite accessible in there; go along, you will have an opportunity to make your views heard rather than moaning on here incessantly!

SimonS1ParticipantYou really think I would buy a ticket and travel to London for the privilege of speaking to someone at BA?
And you seriously think it would serve any purpose?
I suppose some in some cases meeting the great man helps people maintain their sense of self importance though.

StephenLondonParticipantSimonS1 – no, you should buy a ticket, come to a great Taste Festival where you can enjoy sampling dishes from 40+ restaurants and have a fun time.
The bonus would be a glass of something nice in the BA lounge, a canape or two, and the chance to meet some of BA’s senior team and have a relaxed chat with them. The focus needs to be on the Taste event, and possibly discovering something new to please your palate. Anything else is just cream on top of what can be a fun, interesting and delicious day!
