Day 2 (Sunday 3rd May):

The BIMANC 2026 Day Trip offers a fully hosted experience including a lake cruise, nature walk and catered lunch.

Departing by coach from the Radisson Blu, guests will be transported to the North West shores of the famous Loch Lomond.

Guests will board a cruise for a scenic sail with commentary. On disembarking at the next shore, guests may take part in a guided nature trail walk or relax in the hotel near the pier.

Lunch will be provided for all undertaking the Day Trip experience.

Guests will then re-board the cruise, alongside light hosted activities, while enjoying the spellbinding scenery of Loch Lomond. We will return to central Glasgow for 4pm.

We hope guests will have the opportunity to relax and be reinvigorated, renewing the bonds within BIMA’s professional family.

Please note the programme and Day Trip description is subject to change.
