7 Reasons You Need to Join Us At Spark Orlando This October

Spark Orlando is just a few short weeks away. Can you believe it — ‘cause we sure can’t. 

If unfamiliar, Spark is FareHarbor’s annual conference designed to help our tour and activity operators succeed. Attendees will learn from industry experts, hear success stories from FareHarbor clients, and gain access to countless networking opportunities with their peers. 

We could give you a hundred reasons to attend this event… but to get started, here are seven reasons you must head to Spark Orlando this October 8th and 9th. 

1. Complimentary for all FareHarbor clients

Spark is a completely free conference (and who doesn’t love free?!), aside from a fully refundable $100 deposit that will be returned to each attendee at the time of check-in. For all non-clients, Spark attendance is $250 per person.

2. 1.5 days of no-repeat content 

For the first time ever, Spark will be one-and-a-half days long! Beginning at 12 pm on Sunday, October 8th, folks can start meeting their peers, learning from industry specialists, and saying hello to the FareHarbor team. 

Then, Monday, October 9th starts bright and early at 8 am where attendees can enjoy more breakout sessions, our keynote speaker, and a full day of connection and fun!

3. More advanced and trending topics

You asked and we listened! Get ready to learn about the latest tools you should be taking advantage of as well as breaking industry trends you can use to increase your bookings and improve operations.

A few standout session topics:

• Artificial Intelligence: Get to know all of the essential AI tools that tour and activity operators should be using.
• Goal setting and actionable tactics to build a better business: Our keynote speaker will dive into his experiences summiting Everest and other peaks — literally and figuratively. Learn how he uses the same skill sets to master the mountains and launch a successful business.  
• TikTok: Uncover how you can use short-form video to boost your online presence AND your reservations. Let’s get viral!

4. Get your problem solved on the spot

New this year… introducing the FareHarbor Support Bar! Ask all of your questions directly to a FareHarbor expert. Inquire about your Dashboard setup, learn more about the FareHarbor Distribution Network, find out how to get integrated to Google Things to do — anything that will help you streamline your business.

But don’t just take our word for it, hear what Spark 2022 attendee Midgi Moore (Juneau Food Tours) has to say:

“One thing I think people don’t really get is how much FareHarbor wants you to succeed. When you get to meet with the FareHarbor team, it’s so fun because they know who you are, they’re excited about your business, and they’re excited to show you all the new ways you can sell more tickets and grow your business.”

5. TWO networking receptions this year

What is better than one end of day reception?… Two of course! That’s right, Sunday and Monday will both end with an informal, exciting celebration for you to mingle, laugh, and connect with fellow operators and the FareHarbor crew. 

6. Provide feedback directly to the FareHarbor product and leadership team

Spark Orlando is the best way to get some face time with the leaders of FareHarbor. Inform them of the feature you’re dying to see. Ask them what’s on the horizon. Perhaps tell them a joke. 

We can’t advance without the feedback and ideas from tour and activity operators across the world. Join us at Spark for your chance to be a part of the changes to come.

7. Meet with our handpicked partners and vendors that can improve your business

Finally, it wouldn’t be Spark without our amazing partners and vendors. We have DOUBLE the booths from last year which means you have double the chances to find the partners and softwares that can work well with your business.

From photo marketing with Fotaflo to waiver programs with Wherewolf and connections with Viator — you’ll be leaving with slew of new ways you can streamline your operations. 

We hope to see you there — register now!

“Let’s face it; growth isn’t just about doing more. It’s about doing better.
