What has changed this year?


OMCA Kicks off on Monday, not Sunday

Frequent Marketplace attendees will remember that our Marketplace event typically kicks off with the opening event on Sunday evening, after the Tour Operators have had their education sessions. Everything is kicking off a day later this year, with our opening evening event on Monday, December 11th.


Marketplace is only 2-days

We understand the heavy time constraints that our members and delegates have, so we have condensed our Marketplace into two days instead of three. There will be more appointments in a day, and fewer days on the road.
Marketplace appointments will take place on Tuesday, December 12th and Wednesday, December 13th.


All Sellers Have Appointments Both Days

In our new 2-day format, all sellers will take appointments in on both days. The days are split into morning and afternoon blocks and appointment blocks will be assigned when schedules are released.


Schedule will be posted in Eastern Standard Time (EST). Schedule details are subject to change without notice.
