The application for Travel Weekly's CruiseWorld 2015 STAR (Select Travel Adviser Recognition) Program closes Sept. 30.
CruiseWorld, taking place from Nov. 11-13 in Fort Lauderdale, features c-suite keynote speakers, supplier workshops, peer-to-peer training, an exhibitor showcase, sponsored meal functions, ship inspections and significant networking opportunities.
This year's new STAR Program is structured to provide enhanced event programming while offsetting some of the financial expenses incurred by travel agents to attend professional development events. The core component of the STAR Program is a series of collaborative meetings scheduled between exhibiting supplier partners and pre-qualified, vetted travel advisers committed to business growth.
Qualified advisers who are selected to participate in the STAR Program will receive complimentary registration and complimentary hotel accommodation for two nights. Specific participation requirements are detailed on the CruiseWorld website.
CruiseWorld will include three days of jam-packed general sessions and more than 30 breakout sessions covering every segment of the leisure travel space. Ship inspections are scheduled for Nov. 10, 14 and 15 in Fort Lauderdale and Miami, both before and after CruiseWorld.
The one-day exhibitor showcase will be held on Thursday, Nov. 12. Suppliers interested in joining the exhibitor showcase should contact Emmy Morales at [email protected].
