(TRAVPR.COM) UNITED STATES - January 28th, 2015 - The National Timeshare Owners Association (NTOA) has confirmed its sponsorship for the Fifth Annual Global Networking Expo known as the GNEX Conference.  The event takes place, Feb. 15 – 18, at the Manchester Grand Hyatt, San Diego, Calif. Additionally, Gregory Crist, the association’s president and CEO, will be one of the conference’s featured speakers. NTOA is the premier organization giving a united voice to the nearly 8 million timeshare owners in the United States and Canada. With strong education and advocacy programs, the organization has promoted the timeshare industry’s continued growth and positive image for nearly 20 years.

“GNEX is a major industry event that attracts leaders and decision-makers worldwide,” Crist says. “This conference presents a unique opportunity to network and strengthen relationships with many of the leading organizations in timeshare. We are looking forward to being a part of this year’s conference.”

As a GNEX 2015 speaker, Crist will share insights from the 2015 Timeshare Owners Study. This first-of-its-kind study, conducted by INTUITION Brand Marketing on behalf of NTOA, analyzed publicly available social media conversations about timeshare, vacation ownership and travel clubs occurring throughout the entirety of 2014. Crist will highlight significant findings gleaned from more than 500,000 pieces of verified content. Delegates will gain valuable insights on what’s being said about the industry, where most of these conversations are taking place, what topics are most often discussed and more.

“The Timeshare Owners Study is just one example of the tremendous value NTOA brings to the industry,” says Paul Mattimoe, president and CEO, Perspective Group. “NTOA’s participation in GNEX is a testament to the caliber of the companies and organizations GNEX attracts. We are delighted to have NTOA play a prominent role in this year’s conference.
