Guided by moderators Greg Crist, CEO of Association of Vacation Owners (AVO) and Linda Mayhugh, President of C.A.R.E. (Cooperative Association of Resort Exchangers), representatives from all over North America (Canada, U.S.A. and Mexico) answered questions with transparent enthusiasm, creating an atmosphere of open sharing not usually evident in industry events of this nature. The approximately 75 attendees were treated to no-holds barred honesty, vibrant discussions and unity of spirit. As
is becoming the custom, VO-Con 2018 also received attendees’ thumbs up
for a unique team building afternoon. This year’s excursion included an
Ontario Farm Experience with a visit to a local bee farmstead, a fish hatchery
and a nearby Cidery House and Brewery. Following a keynote address entitled
“Creating Transformative Experiences” given by Dennis Mosely-Williams,
the conference wrapped up with “An Ontario Experience” luncheon at the
O&B Café Grill at the Westin Trillium House, Blue Mountain,
Ontario where the event was held.
According to Jon Zwickel, former CEO and President of CVOA and now Chairman of the Board of Directors of the trade association, “We are extremely pleased that the feedback from our members and attendees was overwhelmingly positive. There was a marked increase in attendance and more than half of the group were returning attendees. We are a true trade association with membership 60 % developers and 40% vendors and suppliers to the hospitality industry.” CVOA extends its thanks to these Sponsors for making VO-Con possible: Association of Vacation Owners, CustomerCount®, Cornerstone Vacation Ownership, DAE, Diamond Resorts International®, Fiesta Americana, GBG & Associates, Intuition, Holiday Systems International, LaTour Hotels and Resorts, Perspective Group, and Magna Timeshare Software. Next
year’s event is scheduled for the Fairmont
Chateau Whistler, September 23-25, 2019.
