The Program! No need to bring cumbersome booths, brochures or travel guides because each travel planner will receive a Circle Michigan regional itinerary guide, which will include color-coded regional itineraries, a Michigan map and your profile sheet.
At each event you will network and mingle with travel planners. A designated regional spokesperson will also have the opportunity to address the group at each networking event and talk about:
“What’s New for 2008”
Following introductions, there will be time to speak to the buyers individually or as a group. And for easy visibility during the events, all participants will wear a color-coded fleece vest corresponding with the color-coded regional itineraries. Watch for scheduled dates and times for the regions to get together to work on regional itineraries!
Space is limited - Register Today!
Space is limited to the first 40 members due to limited motor-coach seating
