TPI Conference At Sea
Join us for our 1st TPI Conference at Sea.
In 1988, a company was started from the seeds of one man. Today that company has grown into Travel Planners International and Anthony Gagliano is still watching the fruits of his original crop grow and expand. Along with his sons, Tony Jr., Michael and Ken, Travel Planners International has grown into one of the largest host agencies in the country.
Still family owned and operated, TPI views all of our independent contractors as family members too. So, to truly celebrate the achievements of the last 20 years, we wanted to host an event for all our extended family members because TPI would not be where it is today without you.
We hope that this event will give you a chance to meet other agents from the TPI family, learn more about the partnerships that make TPI successful, and prepare you to leave with more knowledge on how to grow the seeds of your own business.
What can you expect:
• Preferred Supplier Training Sessions
• Tradeshow and Exhibition
• In-port activities
• Special Exclusive Events
• Exclusive booking incentives
and much, much more!
The best part is you will have acceess to our supplier representatives during training and other onboard events, all in one location.

If you can only travel to one industry event this year ... make sure you don't miss this conference.
