Registration now open for 2019 CVOA conference

Registration is now open for the Canadian Vacation Ownership Association (CVOA) annual conference VO-CON, which takes place at the Fairmont Chateau Whistler Resort in Whistler, British Columbia from 23-25 September.

The CVOA is the only association in Canada dedicated to representing the vacation ownership industry, and VO-CON has solidified itself as a must-attend conference for industry professionals looking to gain insight, knowledge, and potential business leads through educational seminars and networking opportunities.

Some 95 per cent of attendees surveyed rated 2018 VO-CON’s networking opportunities “good or excellent”, 100 per cent stated that they met new people, and 76 per cent of attendees acknowledged that they had found potential new business leads that could be worth in excess of $6 million dollars.

Known for its laid-back atmosphere that encourages networking, 96.7 per cent of attendees who were surveyed enjoyed the conference’s concept of blending business with pleasure in a setting that doesn’t require formal attire.

Ingrid Jarrett, the new president and CEO of CVOA, said: “I am thrilled with the engagement, commitment, and opportunities for the Canadian Vacation Ownership Industry.

“The health and growth potential of the Canadian Industry is significant. The Canadian Federal Tourism Strategy supports experience-driven development and growing partnerships.

“Our Canadian and International partners, members and Industry Experts are highly engaged and supportive of CVOA, and I am thrilled to be hosting so many this year at our annual conference.”

The 2019 VO-CON agenda includes a wide range of panel discussions, informational sessions, and casual networking activities. Intermixed with the sessions and business at hand will be authentic Canadian fun.

This year, guests can hit the links and participate in a golf tournament at the immaculate Chateau Whistler Golf Club on 22 Sept, enjoy a themed Canadian food and wine event, and gain insight from financial coach, David Lund, VO-Con 2019’s keynote speaker, as well as Adrian Garrett, USA & Canada Account Executive with DAE, the Awards Luncheon keynote speaker.
