Plans for FCCA Conference Moving Full Steam Ahead
Plans are moving full steam ahead for the 27th annual FCCA Conference, the largest and only official cruise conference representing the Caribbean, Mexico and Central and South America. Taking place live in San Juan, Puerto Rico from January 18-21, 2021, the event will feature a new, streamlined schedule adaptable for any developments with COVID-19 – while still having the regular recipe of meetings, workshops and networking opportunities with high-level executives from FCCA Member Lines, which represent more than 90 percent of global ocean cruising capacity.
“We are beyond grateful for the efforts of all to ensure the show will go on, especially considering how crucial it will be to gather following the rebirth of cruise tourism,” said Michele Paige, President, FCCA. “The event will not only have added significance for so many throughout our partner destinations who rely on cruise tourism’s economic contribution, but also for anyone who has an interest in doing business with cruise lines – and last year’s record attendance of Member Lines’ presidents and above, as well as the most meetings ever, again displayed the cruise industry’s commitment to the event and its platform for working directly with destinations and stakeholders, along with listening to their needs and understanding how to develop long-term mutual success.”
While featuring a new, streamlined schedule that will be adaptable to any developments with COVID-19, all Conference participants will have access to workshops led by cruise executives and successful stakeholders concentrated on topics focused on everything from navigating the ‘new normal’ to developing all-encompassing and far-reaching plans – and participants’ needs will take center stage, with most workshops encouraging audience input.
All participants will also have opportunities to meet with cruise executives during specialized functions throughout the event, which will also showcase some of the best to see, hear and eat in Puerto Rico.
