LIVE from Virgin Voyages HQ, Miami
Ready to engage your employees like never before?
For the first time ever, we’re taking The Comms Show on the road — LIVE from Virgin Voyages’ HQ in Miami. We're going behind the scenes of one of the most unique, diverse, and frontline-heavy workforces in the world, and we're taking you with us!
Virgin Voyages doesn’t operate in offices — it operates a city at sea.
Thousands of crew members.
Dozens of nationalities.
Multiple ships, time zones, languages, and roles.
All need to feel informed, connected, and proud - wherever they are in the world.
How do you communicate and engage at that scale?
That’s exactly what this session is about.
Who's joining us?
- Alaina Julia, Sr. Manager of Internal Brand and Communications, Virgin Voyages
- Paola Ortiz, Senior Manager of Crew (Employee) Experience, Virgin Voyages
- Barbara Booras, Snr Customer Community Manager, Workvivo
Why Attend?
You'll join 3,000+ Internal Comms professionals to learn about Virgin Voyages' world-class internal comms and engagement strategies, and leave with tons of learnings you can apply at your organization the next day.
No theory. No hype. Just next-level practical guidance.
What to expect:
This elevated Comms Show will explore how Virgin Voyages connects their global, always-on workforce, from crew onboard ships to teams onshore, and what internal communicators can learn from an organization where frontline connection isn’t optional, it’s critical.
You'll learn:
- How internal comms work when your workplace is literally moving
- How Virgin Voyages reaches and engages a busy workforce across land and sea.
- How do they maintain and fuel the incredible Virgin culture, including pride and belonging, so strongly across their global and diverse crew
- What “frontline-first” really looks like in practice
- Real and actionable examples you can use at your org to improve your comms and engagement approach immediately
And we won’t just talk about it.
We’ll bring it to life with real stories, behind-the-scenes insights, and day-in-the-life perspectives from the people who make Virgin Voyages what it is.
FREE to attend, but spaces are filling fast.
Ready to go behind the scenes of Virgin Voyages, a workforce like no other?
