OutsideAgents.com Hosts 2024 Member Conference

Jacksonville, FL, October 22, 2024 – OutsideAgents.com, America’s premier host travel agency, recently held its annual conference at the Hilton Fort Lauderdale Marina and on board Royal Caribbean’s Independence of the Seas. With a theme of Turn Passion Into Profit, over 500 participants were in attendance for the eight day event including member agents, preferred vendor representatives, industry leaders, and OutsideAgents.com staff.

 

The conference included general sessions, an interactive trade show, scheduled one on one meetings between travel advisors and vendor representatives and one full day of advanced training breakout classes featuring preferred vendors, Travel Leaders Network and Opulence by Outside Agents. Agent-led Engagement Power Sessions led by agents were also held and included topics such as groups and social media marketing. 

 

While on board the Independence of the Seas, the Royal Caribbean executive management team hosted two panel discussions and a Q&A session for the agents. Several agents also scheduled property site inspections with an OutsideAgents.com preferred vendor or on their own at the Cozumel port of call.

 

Dan Crutchfield, Executive Vice President at OutsideAgents.com stated “Our culture at OutsideAgents.com is family and our conference is all about fostering an environment filled with open collaboration, lively discussions, and meaningful engagement. We’re committed to not just connecting our agents with one another, but also bringing them together with vendor representatives and the OutsideAgents.com staff, allowing everyone to cultivate valuable relationships that last beyond the event.”

 

Steven Nahabedian, Owner, Journey To Bliss Travel and member of OutsideAgents.com since 2017 stated, “The OutsideAgents.com conference is a must-attend event for member agents. The training sessions are impactful, and the chance to network and build relationships with fellow agents and vendor representatives is truly invaluable. I encourage both new and experienced members to attend the Outsideagents.com conference.”
