The industry’s most innovative host agency, Avoya Travel, just proudly announced the success of its first-ever Avoya Regional and Avoya Social events, held on February 2-3 at the Avoya Innovation Center in San Marcos, California, and The Woodshed in Vista, California, respectively.
This immersive two-part gathering brought together Independent Agencies in the Avoya Travel Network, its various supplier partners, and Avoya staff members for a singular blend of networking and educational opportunities.
Introduced in 2024 as new additions to Avoya Travel's robust events calendar, the Avoya Regional and Avoya Social events were designed to offer Independent Agencies more opportunities more interactive discussions, gain industry insights and participate in specialized workshops closer to home.
The Avoya Regional provided a platform for Independent Agencies (IAs) to engage in interactive discussions, gain valuable industry knowledge from supplier partners, and participate in workshops aimed at optimizing their businesses and avail themselves of valuable resources exclusive to Avoya Network members.

Following the success of the Avoya Regional, the West Coast Avoya Social rounded off the weekend with a vibrant gathering aimed at fostering relationships among IAs as peers. This event provided dedicated time for attendees to connect through organic interactions, bonding over games, food, drinks and a delightful atmosphere that reflected Avoya's uniquely approachable company culture.
"The Avoya Regional event was amazing!" expressed Kefalari Karns, owner of Hodgepodge Traveler LLC, a member of the Avoya Network. "I especially enjoyed being able to get to know more of my fellow Independent Agencies. Networking with suppliers, Avoya staff, and other Independent Agencies has proven to be a valuable resource for my agency."
The overwhelming success of both events has heightened anticipation for future Avoya Regionals and Avoya Socials scheduled throughout 2024. These gatherings promise to provide continued opportunities for Independent Agencies to enhance their industry knowledge, forge meaningful connections and grow their businesses within the Avoya Network.
