Travel Industry Exchange Offers Suppliers Popular Panel Speaking Opportunities for Second Year in A Row
NEW YORK (PRWEB) June 13, 2018 -- Questex Travel Group, publishers of Travel Agent and Luxury Travel Advisor magazines and organizers of Travel Industry Exchange, will once again offer participating suppliers the opportunity to speak on a panel during the 2018 event which will be held October 9-11, 2018 at the Hilton West Palm Beach in West Palm Beach, Florida.
Travel Industry Exchange, the number one event for specialization, offers suppliers a minimum of 12 hours of direct facetime with attending agents, part of which includes a 10-minute presentation on a panel with their peers, as well as up to 35 one-to-one appointments, networking meals and receptions, and event activities.
According to the post-event survey conducted after the 2017 event, suppliers found the panel participation to be an extremely valuable element to the Travel Industry Exchange package, second only to the one-to-one appointments.
“Suppliers were extremely pleased to have the ability to present their content to a captive audience of agents interested in selling their specific products,” said Jill Birkett, event director for Questex Travel Group. “It’s an invaluable component for both the suppliers as well as the agents who told us they absolutely loved the sessions and learned so much from them!”
