Whether you’re involved in the vacation ownership industry as a team member or leader, or as a supplier or vendor, you are guaranteed to learn something, meet your peers, and be inspired when you attend an ARDA conference. This year, the ARDA Spring Conference brings over 1200 timeshare industry professionals to — well, confer — together April 14-17, 2024 at the Bellagio Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.
If you’ve never attended an ARDA meeting, I encourage you to watch the video on ARDA’s Registration Page. You’ll get a glimpse of what to anticipate from professional speakers and industry leaders.
You’ll have a great time…guaranteed! You’ll be able to meet and mix with your peers, network together to learn about the latest trends in the industry, and to gain access to thought leaders who can help you better understand what the future holds.
Here are just a few of the luminaries you can expect to meet:
