A new item is the Jet2holidays challenge, which will see the operator’s trade team go up against agents.
Delegates will be flown to and from on chartered flights from Birmingham and Glasgow airports.
Cross said: “This year has once again seen our Partners2Success approach go from strength to strength, and we are very much looking forward to reflecting on our mutual successes with independent travel agency partners.
“As well as hosting our biggest and best event to date, we will be using this year’s conference as a chance to get together and understand how we can tackle challenges head on and capitalise on the many opportunities that are out there.
“Last year, we put our trade partners through an SAS bootcamp to train and prepare them for this year’s main event, which promises to be truly memorable.”
He added: “We have continued to support agency partners by investing in our Partners2Success strategy and we know that agency partners will be even more inspired to sell our award-winning package holidays following this conference.
“This will be the first time that the Jet2holidays annual VIP conference for independent travel agents has returned to a specific destination, but what better place to return to than stunning Turkey.”
