After more than a year of connecting virtually, home-based travel agents will reunite for week of learning and networking.
FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA. – Travel agents with Dream Vacations, CruiseOne and Cruises Inc. will return to the high seas for their annual award-winning National Conference aboard Celebrity Cruises’ Celebrity Apex the week of November 13-20, 2021. This year’s theme, TOGETHER, is a reflection and celebration of the travel industry’s collective perseverance to overcome the obstacles faced because of the pandemic, as well as the symbolism of being TOGETHER in-person as a large group for the first time. It also signifies that through virtual engagement events, travel advisors with Dream Vacations, CruiseOne and Cruises Inc. were able to stay connected TOGETHER over the last 18 months.
“This year’s National Conference is going to be very emotional and a true family reunion, since many have not seen each other in person or set foot on a cruise ship in a very long time,” said Drew Daly, senior vice president and general manager for Dream Vacations, CruiseOne and Cruises Inc. “The future of travel is brighter than ever, and we will spend the week planning and getting excited for the biggest surge in leisure travel history, together!”
Throughout the week, attendees will participate in inspirational general sessions featuring key travel industry executives and world-renowned motivational speakers; engaging networking events; one-on-one meetings with cruise, resort and tour suppliers; interactive educational workshops; and peer-to-peer brainstorming sessions. They will learn how to elevate their businesses by leveraging the award-winning technology, marketing and training programs available.
“I look forward to National Conference every year because it delivers industry-leading information for both cruise and land vacations, including the latest on destinations, cruise ships, tours, and excursions,” said Jeff Leach, Dream Vacations franchise owner and vacation specialist in Omaha, Neb. “Plus, the relationships we have formed in this network over the years make this week seem like a giant family reunion.”
