[fa icon="plus-square"] Can we bring a guest?

Absolutely! Achieving Axiom Circle of Excellence is not easy feat. It requires many long hours, and this incentive trip is as much about celebrating the people who support you in your pursuits, as it is about celebrating your accomplishments.

  • Axiom has some guidelines in place regarding guest attendance:
    • Guests must be 18 years or older. No one under the age of 18 is allowed onsite during Axiom Circle of Excellence dates.
    • Attendees may extend the trip with children under the age of 18 before or after the incentive trip at their own cost.
    • Guest should be non-Axiom employees. Exceptions can be granted following approval and discussion with Territory leads, CCO, SVP of Sales Operations and PAX.
    • Though rooms are double occupancy, two queen beds cannot be guaranteed.  Please notify the Axiom Circle of Excellence team prior to March 1, 2024 with any requests for a room with two queen beds.  Understand this accommodation may  be dependent upon room availability.

All qualifiers will be notified through email with a link to registration.  All registrations must be received by February 5th!  Please make sure your RSVP is on time to secure your spot in the May trip.  

[fa icon="plus-square"] What are my flight details?
