Ensemble Travel Group will award thousands of dollars in contest prizes at its 2012 international conference at Red Rock Resort Las Vegas, Oct. 17 to 21. Members in attendance will have three opportunities to win their share: The “Las Vegas Agent Rewards program” contest, sponsored by the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, will award $5,000 each to a U.S. and a Canadian Ensemble member in a drawing based on those agents’ Las Vegas hotel package bookings made from April 1 through Sept. 30, 2012. Each auto-tracked booking made through Leisure Pops will count as two entries. The winning agents will be selected via a random drawing based on total bookings made. The more bookings, the more chances to win. The two winners will be announced during the conference’s opening general session on Oct. 17.

In addition, Ensemble members’ bookings in the Las Vegas Agent Rewards program are entered into a monthly drawing for an iPad 2.

Ensemble members attending conference are also eligible to win a $2,000 social media makeover sponsored by Cory Andrichuk, founder of brandUcoaching, a business coaching practice. Andrichuk will meet with the contest winner 12 times over a six-month period to help the agency regroup, refresh and revitalize its online marketing presence. Entries (via written statement or video format) must describe the agency’s current social media activities, why it deserves to win, and the desired results of a makeover. All entries are due by Sept. 15, 2012, and the winner will be announced during the opening general session on Oct. 17.
