You bet! Just as your business changes yearly, so does CoNexion to meet your ever-changing needs. Of course, 2023 is the year you do NOT want to miss CoNexion, as we’ll be onboard the beautiful Celebrity Equinox. CoNexion 2023 will also better than ever and will showcase engaging workshops, dynamic industry leaders, surprises, and prizes galore!
Because CoNexion will be held on one of the industry’s most beautiful and fun cruise ships, we may be holding some of the sessions in unconventional venues! Plus, because we’ll be at sea, we’re thrilled to offer some exciting events and experiences you just can’t experience with a land-based conference!
We are not offering any pre- or post-activities, as we’ll have a full agenda during our week at sea.
If you are interested in finding a roommate during CoNexion, we encourage you to please see the Roommate Needed group in NexionTown.
The dress code during CoNexion functions is resort casual; however, please remember to bring a sweater or jacket, as temperatures may vary. Of course, you’ll want to bring your cruise wear for port days and enjoying time on the ship. Any party themes or “Evening Chic” attire nights will be shared at least a month before so that you can pack accordingly.
During registration, you will be asked to list any special needs. Please be specific when describing any special needs. A limited number of wheelchair-accessible staterooms will be available when registration opens. Please note that once our allotment of wheelchair-accessible staterooms are sold out, we will be unable to add more.
Our top sponsors receive an attendee list prior to CoNexion, so they can invite you to special events they may have during or around the conference. In addition, we may use video and/or photography of all CoNexion functions and attendees for marketing purposes.
Yes, there will be a mobile app once again this year. More details will be shared as we get closer to our sailing.
June 18 is the last day to register for CoNexion. However, we anticipate selling out before then. Full payment will be required for any registrations made after June 1, 2023.
If you plan to add a second person to your stateroom but do not know who that person is when you register, you should reserve a double stateroom. If you don’t know your second passenger information when you register, please register yourself and then once received, please send the second passenger information to conexion@nexion.com. Please note, however, that if you do not add a second person, you will be responsible for the entire stateroom double occupancy price. We have a very limited number of Single Occupancy staterooms available. Therefore, switching from a double stateroom to a single stateroom will not be possible.
Note: When booking a double occupancy stateroom, you will be required to pay the full cabin deposit of $500 USD for both passengers.
Any changes need to be submitted through the Events team by emailing conexion@nexion.com. Changes must be submitted by July 20, 2023.
Any changes need to be submitted through the Events team by emailing conexion@nexion.com.

All CoNexion staterooms are on a guarantee. You will be notified of your stateroom number just prior to CoNexion.
Each stateroom must have at least one Nexion Travel Group advisor registered for the stateroom. The registered advisor(s) must attend at least 50% of the general sessions and the trade show in order to be eligible for the CoNexion stateroom rate.

As we expect to sell out very quickly, there are no early bird promotions.
Please keep in mind that the cost is for seven nights onboard a fabulously fun and gorgeous cruise ship on an amazing itinerary, PLUS everything you normally expect from CoNexion. When you factor in the expenses of a land-based, four-day/three-night CoNexion, the per diem per person is comparable to CoNexion 2023.
