It will be first time in 12 years that the consortium will hold its annual conference in a long-haul destination.

Advantage’s managing director Julia Lo Bue-Said announced that Trump National Doral Miami resort will be the venue for the 2018 conference at the end of this year’s event in Club Med Opio in Provence, France.

Lo Bue-Said added: “For 2018, the Advantage board was keen to travel further afield than Europe and with easy connections to Miami available from a plethora of regional British airports and multiple airlines, there will be an abundance of choice for attendees.
 
“The Trump National Doral Miami hotel offers extensive conference facilities and the setting will enable us to provide delegates with a world class experience in a beautiful and stimulating destination.”

The Trump resort in Miami has more than 100,000 square feet of meeting and events space including the Crystal Ballroom and Terrace.

William Talbert, president of the Greater Miami Convention Visitors Bureau, added: “We are very much looking forward to welcoming Advantage agents to Miami as endless sunshine and kilometres of pristine beaches offer a variety of things to do and places to see.”

Next year’s Advantage conference in Miami will take place from May 10-13.
