Direct Travel's first leisure conference is coming up in Chicago

Direct Travel has revealed details about its first leisure conference, which will bring together advisors and strategic partners from across North America.

“We are thrilled that business continues to grow to unprecedented levels,” said Stephen Smith, senior vice-president, leisure strategy and marketing for Direct Travel in a press release on Thursday (Oct. 19).

The event will take place from Nov 14-16 at the InterContinental Chicago Magnificent Mile Hotel.

Anticipated attendees will include some 200 Direct travel advisors – both employees and ICs –  along with 80 strategic partners, some of which will be sending along two or more delegates.

“This is such a great opportunity for our advisors to network with our top partners, learn first-hand of their new offerings and new strategies to increase sales and better service our mutual clients,” stated Gerard Bellino, Direct Travel’s EVP Leisure.

Scheduled face-to-face meetings will ensure advisors are able to spend valuable time with strategic partners and vice versa.

And at the same time, Direct Travel will bring its team up to date on the company’s productivity tools along with insights into data and the company’s technology enhancements. 

A key theme will be demonstrating to advisors how to earn more money with simple changes to how they conduct their daily business.

“We are also really looking forward to our Giving Back initiative in partnership with A&K Philanthropy where our attendees will be working with Project C.U.R.E to send a container of medical supplies to the Nakatindi Health Clinic in Zambia helping children and families in need,” added Smith. 

And, as Bellino stated: “Direct Access: Gaining Altitude is less than a month away and the excitement is definitely building.”
