FCCA Conference and Trade Show Offers Attendees a Chance to Meet and Display Their Products To the Cruise Industry’s Key Decision Makers

Pembroke Pines, FL (August 12, 2011) – The FCCA and their member lines are working together to deliver the most successful FCCA Conference & Trade Show to date, taking place in San Juan, Puerto Rico, October 3-7, 2011. Don’t miss this opportunity to optimize your business in the industry and have the chance to meet, develop relationships with and display your product to some of the most important decision makers throughout the industry.

This annual event presents the best chance for entities doing business or wishing to do business with the cruise industry to increase their contact base with the dozens of cruise executives in attendance from the operations, purchasing, marketing and shore excursion departments; gain insight on what the cruise lines look for in terms of shore excursions, products, services and ports of call; and establish a clear vision that will map the road to success in future dealings with the cruise industry. There will be formal meetings with the cruise executives and informal events that foster communication between the attendees and executives.

Delegates who wish to pre-arrange meetings with cruise executives are urged to register as soon as possible. Meeting information will be available in early September for those pre-registered delegates. Space is very limited and will be confirmed on a first-come, first-served basis; therefore, it is strongly recommended that interested delegates register by August 15th.

The FCCA Trade Show is the best way to ensure exposure to this prestigious audience of decision makers and prominent professionals throughout the industry. It will be the largest to date, with more exhibits than ever before, including specialized pavilions that are designed for destinations to come together as one entity to display their numerous products to the crowd of cruise executives and industry professionals or for large companies that want increased publicity.

To register and learn more about the conference, please visit the FCCA website, www.f-cca.com; print the registration form; and fax it to the FCCA at 954-441-3171.
