Home  ARDA Annual Convention
The 2008 Convention in Las Vegas at The
Venetian Resort Hotel & Casino was a big success, with
record numbers of attendees and exhibitors and an action-packed agenda.
From Rick Barrera’s lively and inspiring keynote opening all the
way through to Vince Papale’s anecdotes at the Breakfast of
Champions, the week rolled on with high energy, filled with committee
meetings, educational sessions and social events.
Here are just a few of the highlights—the
Fractional & Private Residence Club Forum and the Sales and
Marketing Forum continue to be a draw on the first day of the
conference. The second day of the convention kicked off with the State
of the Industry panel moderated by Peter Yesawich with panelists Franz
Hanning, Don Harrill, The Family of Orange Lake Resorts Wyndham Vacation
Ownership, Tracy L. Sherles, Shell Vacations and Stephen Weisz, Marriott
Vacation Club Intl. Between strolls through the Expo Hall with more than
260 exhibitors and the eight waves of educational sessions that ran the
gamut of topics, there were numerous opportunities to make valuable
professional connections and learn more about the ever-changing
industry.
And of course, it wouldn’t be an ARDA
Convention without the fabulous receptions and parties, such as the ICE
party on Monday night at LAX and Interval International Party with a
Cause featuring Styx on Tuesday night. The Awards Gala concluded the
week’s evening events—a fine affair to fete the top industry
professionals for the year with entertainment by Terry Fator, thanks to
Presenting Sponsor HSI.
