At a gala event held to conclude EDGE 2026, the Travel Leaders Network (TLN) honoured some of their top performers across North America. The annual Power of Partnership (POP) Awards celebrate excellence in sales growth, client service, community impact and overall excellence across its Associate, U.S. Affiliate and Canadian Affiliate member agencies.  

“The Power of Partnership isn’t just a name, it’s what drives all our decisions,” said Lindsay Pearlman, President of Travel Leaders Network and 2026 inductee into the Canadian Travel Hall of Fame. “This year’s winners reflect how rapidly the advisor landscape is evolving, with agencies growing through specialization, luxury expertise, hosted advisor networks and stronger use of technology and marketing tools. The collaboration between our members and supplier partners continues to raise the bar for what modern travel agencies can achieve. Congratulations to all our winners.”
