The Canadian Vacation Ownership Association (CVOA) has announced plans for VO-Con 2018, the only event of its kind in Canada. Scheduled for September 25-27, VO-Con 2018 will be held at the Westin Trillium House Resort in Blue Mountain, Ontario. About a 75-minute drive from Toronto’s Pearson International Airport, Blue Mountain, a year-round resort nestled between the shores of Georgian Bay and the heights of the Niagara Escarpment will be the setting where VO-CON attendees will learn, network and participate in the future of the vacation ownership industry in Canada.
According to Jon Zwickel, President and CEO of CVOA, “Last year’s conference proved that our casual format, with plenty of time for networking and professional relationship building, was enthusiastically welcomed by attendees, who are predominantly stakeholders in the vacation ownership industry. The resort environment enhances our goals to encourage out-of- the-box thinking among our constituents.”
CVOA alternates its annual conference between west and east. Last year’s event took place in Whistler, B.C.
The VO-Con mission “To Explore the Business of Vacations” will be structured to provide opportunities for networking, collaboration and open sharing of information. Information about the conference schedule, sponsorship opportunities, keynote speakers and social events will be forthcoming. A uniquely Canadian event, CVOA’s VO-Con registration fee is affordable and sponsorship pricing and benefits packages offer unusual value. CVOA is Canada’s only association dedicated to representing the interests of the vacation ownership and resort development industries. Since its founding 1980 (originally as CRDA), the organization has become Canada’s preeminent industry association representing all forms of vacation ownership. CVOA membership is a community of active industry leaders committed to promoting and maintaining a high standard of ethical conduct within the Canadian vacation ownership industry, creating B-2- B and networking opportunities between Members, and educating consumers as to the benefits of vacation ownership.
