For the first time in CoNexion history, attendees are able to participate in exclusive one-on-one meetings with supplier partners. The meetings are designed for agents to spend thought-provoking time finding innovative ways to build their business. This is in addition to supplier roundtable discussions where attendees will have the opportunity to meet and hear from six of the more than 35 suppliers of their choosing about the latest innovations and offers, as well as best target markets and customers. CoNexion 2014 will also showcase more than 100 suppliers at an energetic trade show on Friday, September 19.
Also new this year is the Networking Power Hour taking place on Thursday, September 18. Agents can enjoy an hour solely dedicated to networking with other Nexion agents, suppliers and staff, in order to discuss best practices and build lasting relationships.
Expanded breakout sessions – totaling 44 hours of available content – will allow experienced and newer agents the opportunity to attend the specific workshops that best meet the needs of their business. Breakout session topics will include: driving customer loyalty, how to grow your cruise client base, Internet security, social media and how to avoid debit memos. CoNexion also provides the opportunity for individuals to take their CTA or CTC examination.
Plenty of fun activities have been built into this year’s agenda including the kick-off event on Wednesday, September 17, at Disney’s Epcot theme park.
