Filled with key speakers, great food and live entertainment, General Sessions are usually exciting affairs. However Friday’s General Session exceeded all expectations thanks to our VIP Industry Panel.

Moderated by Travel Weekly’s Arnie Weissmann, the Industry Panel—a new addition to the Conference lineup—featured Vicki Freed of Royal Caribbean; Steve Gorga of Travel Impressions; Bill Smith of Crystal Cruises; Michele Saegesser of Viking, Scott Nesbit of Globus; and our own dynamo leader, Steve Tracas.

Topics ranged from agent commissions to tactical pricing, with a highlight coming when Arnie went to the live twitter feed to get questions from the tweeting audience.

The panel was lively and interactive, and had a good mix of banter and serious discussion.

Engaging insights into the current state of the industry…just another benefit for attending Conference. We will try and post some of the video highlights, check back later!
