SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, Calif. — October 22, 2020 – Surf Expo, the Premiere Watersports and Beach Lifestyle Marketplace held twice annually in Orlando, Florida, announced its new partnership with EventSphere to manage hotel reservations for its two annual tradeshows at the Orange County Convention Center beginning in 2021.
EventSphere will work hand-in-hand with Surf Expo to ensure buyers and exhibitors experience an easy process of securing hotel accommodations within the official block. Buyers and exhibitors can rest assured that any communications coming from EventSphere are legitimate and not from a third party attempting to entice them to book in an unofficial block.
“We are excited to announce our new partnership with EventSphere as we prepare to safely reunite our industry for a face-to-face event in January,” said Roy Turner, Show Director & Senior Vice President of Surf Expo.
In addition to making hotel reservations, Surf Expo made the decision to partner with EventSphere for the below services offered:
- Customized booking website
- Support based contact center available 24/7, 365 days per year ready to answer any Surf Expo-related questions
- Online reservation management for groups that allows individuals to manage arrival and departure dates as well as billing
- Immediate confirmation emails as soon as a reservation is booked
- An additional pre-arrival email prior to the expo, providing a hotel confirmation number for each check-in
“We’re thrilled to expand our relationship with Emerald X to include Surf Expo this January,” said Todd C. Lambert, President & CEO of EventSphere. “With our personal approach to making sure every person at Surf Expo is happy with their accommodations, we look forward to working with this community and making their hotel booking process as seamless as possible.”
When housing opens for Surf Expo, EventSphere is available to assist you through their dedicated toll-free number and email address.
