Vacation.com Trade Show

It’s time to make sure you have your registration in for the 9th International Conference & Trade Show June 27th - July 1st in New Orleans at the Hilton Riverside Hotel. Hotel accommodations are based on a first come, first serve basis and class registration will be open soon. If you haven’t registered yet, simply log onto http://recp.rm05.net/ctt?kn=3&m=516269&r=MzcxNTkyMjkxNgS2&b=0&j=ODA3MjkxMTQS1&mt=1 then click on 'Vacation.com 9th Int’l Conference,' and follow the prompts from there.

From a content perspective is the main reason folks rave about our conference every year, we will have numerous training venues: (1) New Sales and Marketing Strategies with Bob Abrames, Nolan Burris, Mike Marchev and others; (2) More than 100 hours of classes about Vcom’s marketing programs and technology solutions; (3) Targeted educational tracks like Owner/Manager think-tank sessions and Independent Contractor sessions, and; (4) You can earn credits toward your certification with CLIA and continuing education credits with The Travel Institute.

As always, we’ll have our valued Trade Show with our Preferred Suppliers to help educate and focus on product lines available for sale throughout the world…plus the General Session; a Broadway production sponsored by Keith Prowse; an exciting show from one of Royal Caribbean’s ships, and a Las Vegas Revue! Good Stuff...sounds like an advertisement for the Vcom conference!!!!

I understand the constraints of setting aside time for the conference. Hopefully this opportunity falls under ‘training and education’ and you’re able to find some time, every year, to enhance your base of knowledge and join us. If you haven’t been to New Orleans since Katrina…it’s a must. A ‘must’ to help this treasured city; a ‘must’ to see for yourself the challenge they’re up against; and a ‘must’ to continually educate yourself on the ever changing product lines of our preferred suppliers.

I hope you all noticed that we’ve brought on a new preferred supplier in Pleasant Holidays! Pleasant offers customized packages throughout Hawaii, Mexico, Tahiti, Fiji, Australia, New Zealand and Asia. They’re offering our members 500 additional TRIP points for every new booking made in March and they’re rolling out product launch training sessions in cities around the country. If you need to find a BDM in your area, call (800) 442-3234, or you can e-mail them at: sales@pleasant.net or visit their website at www.pleasantagent.com.
