The cruise3sixty 2011 conference has officially sold out, according to Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA). The association has opened a registration wait list.
"We want to ensure that cruise3sixty delegates have an optimum conference experience. To that end we have opened a wait list and urge all agents who wish to attend to put their name on it. We will make every effort to accommodate those who sign up," said Bob Sharak, CLIA’s executive vice president for marketing and distribution. "In the meantime, all agents, whether they’re registered or not, are also encouraged to submit nominations for the CLIA 2011 Hall of Fame."
