Irving, TX (February 26, 2016): Today, Nexion®—the travel industry’s premier host travel agency—officially announced the kick-off of its Nexion on the Road regional events with a two-day event in the Washington, D.C. area on April 12. In all, the series will include six events throughout the year in the following cities: Washington, D.C.; Fort Lauderdale, FL; Detroit, MI; Seattle, WA; Newark, NJ; and Boston, MA. Attendees will participate in a full day of targeted education, plus have opportunities to experience the host city as a tourist; additionally, ship inspections will be offered in four cities. The Washington, D.C. Nexion on the Road includes a full day of sessions and an executive meet-and-greet at the headquarters of Vacation.com and ASTA. The events held in Detroit and Seattle will be in collaboration with Nexion Canada, providing even greater networking opportunities for attendees.
“Nexion on the Road continues and expands upon the very successful NEX-Door events we offered last year. Particularly, we made sure to offer Nexion agents more experiential opportunities,” said Nexion President Jackie Friedman, CTC, CTIE. “Developing these multi-day, educational sessions for Nexion agents allows us to tailor the events to different business specializations. Where each of last year’s NEX-Door events were intended for agents based in the host cities, this year’s multi-day Nexion on the Road events have been designed so that our member travel agents in the United States and Canada can select the one they believe will be most beneficial to their business.”
