“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.”
