Travel Leaders Network's international conference EDGE (Educate, Discover, Gather, Evolve) officially kicking off yesterday with over 1,500 attendees, including travel advisor members, staff and supplier partners.
Held at Aurora, CO's The Gaylord Rockies Resort & Convention Center, the conference offers attendees the chance to learn, network with supplier partners and connect with other travel advisors from TLN. The conference takes place from June 12-15, 2022.
Prior to EDGE's official opening, the Luxury Leaders Alliance, TLN's exclusive group for its top luxury sellers, held an intensive one-day learning event on June 11. The Luxury Leaders Alliance members participating in this symposium had access to luxury air, cruise, tour and hotel suppliers with content devoted exclusively to the luxury travel advisor's needs.
Travel Leaders Network's other Alliance, the Host Agency Leaders Alliance, also held a daylong conference on June 11, with content geared towards bringing together leading hosts in the consortia for networking and education.
EDGE's keynote speaker for 2022 is the pioneering Bruce Poon Tip, founder of G Adventures. Passionate about the power of travel to change the world for the better, Poon Tip is a global leader in social entrepreneurship, leadership, immersive travel, and innovation.
In addition to his work at G Adventures, Bruce founded the Planeterra Foundation to harness the power of the tourism supply chain to channel travellers' dollars into underserved communities around the world.
EDGE will hold multiple General Sessions to announce new programs and tools for TLN members. As well, attendees will have their choice of over 200 workshops taught across a variety of topics, a trade show, and an Experience Lounge for appointments with Travel Leaders Network staff experts.
EDGE also features three new events this year: Destination Connections, where advisors can meet with Tourism Board Partners in small-group appointments, Hotel & In-Country Partner Marketplace, and a gala dinner to honour EDGE award winners and those who have achieved a TLN Specialist Certification this year.
"EDGE 2022 is going to be an amazing conference," said Roger E. Block, President of Travel Leaders Network.
"As the travel industry continues is remarkable recovery, EDGE is a time to celebrate all that TLN members have achieved and that the best is yet to come."
