Registration opens for 2020 CLIA Conference
Registration is now open for next year’s CLIA Conference in Southampton on April 26, 27 and 28.
The three-day event includes ship visits, a trade fair, and a full day of business sessions, with speakers from across the cruise industry as well as keynote inspirational leaders from outside the sector, followed by a gala dinner.
Delegates attending next year’s annual CLIA Conference will have the chance to visit two ships in port – P&O Cruises’ Britannia and MSC Cruises’ MSC Meraviglia.
Andy Harmer, CLIA UK & Ireland director, said: "Our 14th annual CLIA Conference will once again bring together the entire cruise community, and promises the usual mix of engaging and informative conference content, our now famous networking trade fair, our legendary gala dinner and evening entertainment, multiple ship visits on some of the newest ships that attract UK and Irish holidaymakers; and of course the usual surprises that allows the whole event to continue to exceed the expectations of our travel agent partners.
