Florida-Caribbean Cruise Association (FCCA) – the trade association that represents the mutual interests of destinations and stakeholders throughout the Caribbean and Latin America, along with Member Lines that operate over 90 percent of the global cruising capacity – is proud to announce that it will debut a new marquee networking function during its keynote event and the only official cruise conference and trade show in and representing the region, the

Dubbed the ‘St. Maarten Presidents Dinner’ and slated for the evening of Tuesday, October 22, the exclusive, executive-packed event has been created so any interested party can move business with the cruise industry full steam ahead. The invitation-only event will be coordinated by FCCA and supported by FCCA Member Cruise Lines, with Presidents, CEOs, and more high-level cruise executives hosting tables that will be open for industry stakeholders looking to build business and relationships, while enjoying a festive night with a boatload of surprises.
“We have always prided ourselves in offering direct opportunities for local stakeholders to maximize their benefits from cruise tourism, and this new function was built with that in mind,” said Michele Paige, CEO, FCCA. “I cannot wait to see what results this brings for our partners and for the ‘Presidents Dinner’ to become a fixture at the FCCA Cruise Conference and Trade Show.”
“FCCA has a way of making business and networking fun at events like this, and I am confident that this one is not to be missed,” said Micky Arison, Chairman of FCCA and Carnival Corporation & plc.
