Virtuoso Travel Mart 2008 Photo Book - (Page 3) T ravel Mart! h a p p y 2 0 t h a n n i v e r s a ry in 1988, the first Virtuoso travel mart was held at the brazilian court in Palm beach with 93 people in attendance. it may have been a small meeting, but it was clear that the potential was enormous. as the years have passed, the event has grown, not just in numbers, but also in the benefits it offers. we’ve introduced training and advisor development opportunities, new alliances, special events, coveted awards, technological innovations, strategy for Growth 360’s, become a Virtuoso recruitment, and, of course, the one-of-a-kind conga line that constitutes the appointments. and it is that spirit that fuels the network as we tackle challenges. we consistently emerge stronger and better because we work so well together. the hallmarks of Virtuoso — our leadership, work ethic, and willingness to embrace the future — are never more apparent than during travel mart. as we look back and recall that initial travel mart 20 years ago, we can’t help but think about those who joined us for the first time in 2008. for veterans, it’s easy to spot a first-timer at the beginning of the event — the wide-eyed expressions, the heads swiveling to take it all in, and the questions galore — but by the end, they reflect a new understanding of the power of the network, and the reason Virtuoso continues to bring people together. after all, what other business meeting is marked by so many hugs and kisses? we hope you enjoy these photos, and the video recap of travel mart 2008. may they bring back wonderful memories, and remind you of the incredible energy that’s created when we all come together. remember, we don’t just provide our clients with return on Life™, we also provide it for each other. best regards, this year’s attendance broke all records with more than 3,000 attendees representing 102 countries from around the globe. Yet even as the size and scope of travel mart continues to grow, the spirit remains the same. matthew Upchurch, ctc ceo, Virtuoso, Ltd. Kristi Jones, President, Virtuoso, Ltd. 3 foreword
