Thank you to all who joined us today for our Trade Show. We had great attendance and super feedback from the suppliers who attended.

We've had some attendee cancellations for our Trade Show next month.

We have some fantastic suppliers lined up. We are finalizing all the paperwork (so not all are guaranteed) but if you are interested in meeting with a wonderful variety of suppliers such as tourism boards (like Australia and Bahamas), luxury DMCs and river cruise lines, and more, you'll want to sign up ASAP.

Already registered? Please check your inboxes for your attendee invoice.

We would love to have a full house to encourage suppliers to come back next year so please spread the word and come out for a day of networking.

We plan to start at 9:30 and wrap up by 5pm. Snacks, refreshments, and lunch will be served (the final agenda will be emailed to attendees).
