Are You Ready for CruiseWorld 2018?

Agents, are you ready for CruiseWorld? It starts November 7 in Fort Lauderdale, and you know VAX will be there. Here’s what you can expect from us.

On day one, Wednesday, November 7, VAX BDM Beth will be leading a one-hour training on VAX, starting at 11:30 am. She’ll cover the VAX redesign we launched in February, new filters in our booking engine, new agent education pages and, of course, The Compass, and how this new section of VAX is 100% dedicated to your growth and success. She’ll also talk about where VAX is headed and how you can give us feedback to make sure it continues to meet your needs.

Later that day at 1:25 pm, Trisept Solutions, VAX’s parent company, will hold the first of our three Travel Weekly Tech Talks. This one will be hosted by John Ische, the president of Trisept Solutions, so you really don’t want to miss it.

That night’s reception will be amazing, with a live performance by Pitbull, who is also the Godfather of Norwegian Escape. Get ready to give it up for Mr. 305!

Day two brings a second Tech Talk sponsored by Trisept Solutions, this time at 10:50 am during the general session. Then it’s time for the Exhibitor Showcase, where you can find the VAX booth and chat with Beth in-person.

Then on day three, Trisept has one more Tech Talk during the general session. The concurrent sessions later that day allow you to choose your track, customizing your professional development experience. We think this is great, since not every travel professional occupies the same role (or roles) in an agency.

We hope to see you down in Florida for CruiseWorld! There are plenty of opportunities for you to connect with us, and we can’t wait.
