NTOA Renews Sponsorship For GNEX 2016 Timeshare Conference

(TRAVPR.COM) USA - June 15th, 2015 - The National Timeshare Owners Association (NTOA) has confirmed its sponsorship of the Sixth Annual Global Networking Expo known as the GNEX Conference. The event takes place, Feb. 2 – 5, 2016, in one of America’s most celebrated cities – the Big Easy – at the historic Ritz Carlton New Orleans.

NTOA is the premier association giving a united voice to the nearly 8 million timeshare owners in the United States and Canada. With strong owner advocacy and education programs, the organization has encouraged countless owners to explore all the uses and benefits of timesharing for nearly 20 years.

“GNEX brings together global leaders to discuss the industry’s emerging trends and most pressing challenges,” says Gregory Crist, president and CEO, NTOA. “We forged outstanding alliances at last year’s conference and look forward to seeing old friends and getting to know exciting new entrants into the market at GNEX 2016.”

This is the second year NTOA has sponsored GNEX. As a featured speaker at last year’s conference, Crist presented initial findings from the “Timeshare Owners Study.” This first-of-its-kind study is based on more than 500,000 online mentions from publicly available sources over the course of the last twelve months, collected and analyzed by INTUITION Brand Marketing. Crist’s presentation provided insights on current attitudes, including what is being said about timeshare and where these conversations are taking place online.

“GNEX attendees got an exclusive look at this seminal study documenting the powerful influence of social media,” says Paul Mattimoe, president and CEO, Perspective Group. “We are delighted to welcome NTOA back for GNEX 2016. As an invaluable resource for owners and industry professionals for nearly two decades, NTOA is a testament to high-caliber organizations GNEX attracts.”

Celebrated City, Record Growth

Each year, GNEX showcases a different premier destination. On the eve of Mardi Gras 2016, the conference takes delegates to New Orleans’ oldest neighborhood, the French Quarter. This melting pot of Louisiana culture puts French, Spanish, Creole and Cajun influences on full display. Delegates will be able to walk to renowned restaurants and bars. Along the way, they will take in the strains of jazz, blues, rock and electronic dance beats that flow on a typical night from the French Quarter’s lively nightspots.  

Last year’s GNEX Conference drew 200 senior-level executives from 120 companies across six continents. GNEX 2016 promises to set new records, with 100 registered delegates just weeks after tickets became available. With its focus on networking, GNEX – The Global Meeting of Minds provides unrivaled access to prospective new clients and strategic partners in a casual setting that redefines the typical conference format. Highlights include: open-forum discussions on key issues with some of the biggest names in timeshare and engaging networking and social events that have fostered countless new business relationships and strategic partnerships.
