Three quarters of available exhibitor stands and half the number of spaces open to the travel trade have been taken within a week of the first Expedition Cruise Network conferencegoing live.
Fourteen exhibitors have been signed up for the autumn event in London.
HX Hurtigruten Expeditions is lead sponsor for the two-day conference at the Bankside Hotel, which was announced last month.
Other exhibitors include Aqua Expeditions, Cruceros Australis, Silversea, Atlas Ocean Voyage, Antara, Aranui, Swan Hellenic, Quark, Oceanwide Expeditions, AE Expeditions, Heritage Expeditions, Lindblad and Poseidon Expeditions.
In addition to seminar sessions, up to 30 pre-arranged face-to-face meetings are planned, organised via a digital platform with UK sellers of expedition cruise who have engaged with ECN’s webinar programme.
The guest list for the conference on October 1-2 will include a mix of independent agents, tour operators, home-workers and leisure agents.
ECN co-founder and chief executive Akvile Marozaite said: “We are delighted at the fantastic level of interest in the inaugural Expedition Cruise Network conference.”
