The UK’s largest and fastest-growing technology platform for travel entrepreneurs, Travel Counsellors, will host its largest global conference to date in its home city of Manchester later this month.
The Travel Counsellors Global Annual Conference will take place from Friday 22 until Sunday 24 November at Manchester Central Convention Centre, bringing together over 2,100 delegates from across the globe, including Travel Counsellors, partners, support team colleagues and over 220 suppliers. This marks not only the largest conference in the company’s 30-year history but also one of the most significant events organised by a travel company in the UK.
Under the theme, ‘30 Beyond’, this year’s conference celebrates Travel Counsellors’ journey while looking toward the future of travel. More than just a theme, it underscores the company’s shared commitment to going beyond the ordinary, creating strong personal connections by caring for its people and customers, and delivering exceptional travel experiences. The focus remains on building a sense of community, fostering collaboration, and inspiring others.
The conference will debut new features, including an exclusive private event at Fenix, an upscale restaurant in Manchester, to honour 150 long-standing members of the Travel Counsellors community for their unwavering dedication and commitment, with six individuals celebrating 25 years of service, and another 21 marking 21 years. For the first time, Friday’s seminar sessions will feature three high-profile external speakers centred on wellbeing topics, such as transforming adversity into empowerment, physical health, resilience and stress management. Additionally, there will be a marketplace for the community to share services and products to help them with their wellness, wellbeing and personal marketing products and gifts.
Steve Byrne (pictured), CEO of Travel Counsellors, said: “Our theme, ’30 Beyond’, highlights our unwavering commitment to pushing boundaries and providing extraordinary travel experiences for our customers and clients, placing care and dedication at the heart of every journey. This milestone event is the perfect opportunity to recognise our collective success across all of our international markets after a record-breaking year, share industry insights, and explore the exciting opportunities as we move into the future with optimism and confidence.”
