OSSN's Trade Show
by Gary Fee

article continued

OSSN Trade ShowOur theme is "Catching the Wave of the Economic Upturn."

Right off the bat, I can share that NACTA President Scott Koepf has accepted our invitation to appear in San Diego as a conference participant. We're working hard to build new bridges throughout the home-based agent community! Also, we'll debut new programming on topics ranging from the effective use of social media and legal basics for travel agents to cashing in on incentive travel and working with consortia. (Plus, we'll still have accredited training from the Cruise Lines International Association and from the Niche Cruise Marketing Alliance.)

Here's the brand-new Web site for OSSN's new conference: www.HomeBasedTravelAgentForum.com

You can lock in the early-bird registration rate of $40 until the end of January (it goes to $60 starting Feb. 1). And, we have special $89 nightly rates at the Town & Country Resort, too (go to the show's hotel page for more details).

We picked San Diego in part because it's so easy to get to via air, car, and even rail. Plus, you can't argue with the beautiful weather!

We're working very hard in 2010 - OSSN's 20th anniversary year! - to make this brand-new conference the very best event for home-based agents this year. Drop us an email if you have any questions or suggestions!

Gary M. Fee is president and founder of the Outside Sales Support Network (OSSN), North America's largest trade association for home-based travel agents. He may be reached at info@ossn.com.
