Virtual Retreat
September 20 — 24, 2021

A development journey for our community of travel advisors.

Change is the only constant. We have always looked towards hospitality's horizons and take pride in our continuing curiosity surrounding our lives, our work, and the future of travel. Over the last 25 years, it has been our great delight to foster connections between the most aspirational travel advisors and hoteliers.

Now, changing times have created a new opportunity for us to rethink the way we live and gather, and with it, how we may better engage our travel community. In collaboration with The Future Laboratory, we have recognized the Promadic traveler, a new breed of purpose-seeking traveler who is both proactive and nomadic in their consumer habits. As the week goes on, we will dive deeper into how our businesses can successfully adapt to this future traveler through the connections we make today.

The theme of our week-long Virtual Retreat is connection and community. It’s an invitation to explore both personal development and professional expansion through workshops, panels, and guided connect sessions where you can collaborate and forge connections with our member hotels. In this unprecedented era of travel, we will cultivate meaningful connections and collectively reflect, re-energize, and reinvent the future.
