2020 CLIA Conference dates announced
CLIA UK & Ireland’s 2020 CLIA Conference will take place on April 26, 27 and 28.
The UK’s largest travel agent conference includes ship visits, a trade fair, and a full day of business sessions, featuring speakers from across the cruise industry as well as keynote inspirational leaders from outside the sector, followed by the conference’s gala dinner.
Next year’s delegates will have the chance to visit two ships in port – P&O Cruises’ Britannia and MSC Cruises’ MSC Meraviglia.
Andy Harmer, CLIA UK & Ireland director, said: "Our 14th annual CLIA Conference will once again bring together the entire cruise community, and promises the usual mix of engaging and informative conference content, our now famous networking trade fair, our legendary gala dinner and evening entertainment, multiple ship visits on some of the newest ships that attract UK and Irish holidaymakers; and of course the usual surprises that allows the whole event to continue to exceed the expectations of our travel agent partners.
"With so many cruise lines and sponsors joining the event, and with targeted content across the three days, this is the must-attend event of 2020 for those serious about growing their cruise sales, with information and inspiration for those new to cruise, those who are experts in cruise, and everything in between."
The CLIA Conference is open to CLIA travel agent members. Registration opens on September 11 via www.cruiseexperts.org.
