TRAVEL ADVISOR TESTIMONIALS
“Future Leaders is the BEST industry event of the year! It was an invaluable experience to build relationships with suppliers that truly are invested in the travel advisor community. After the discussions with my travel advisor peers, it has motivated me to take everything I do in the world of travel to the next level! We're all in this together, and all of the suppliers and travel advisors are the best examples of young professionals that are embracing and leading the change in this industry!”
- Nolan Flynn, LaMacchia Travel, 2020-2021 Guide
“Future Leaders was an amazing and enlightening experience. For most travel conferences, you are with hundreds of other advisors and only meet with suppliers for two minutes each at trade shows, if you’re lucky. During Future Leaders, you spend nearly all day alongside suppliers and advisors, networking and socializing about what inspires one another in this ever-growing business we call travel. It was truly one of the best experiences of my life. Everyone shared common goals and the ambition to grow together.”
- Justin Murphy, VIP Travel Experience, 2020-2021 Guide
“Future Leaders is an incredible opportunity for the next generation of travel advisors to build relationships, grow our businesses, and collectively solve the issues we face today.”
- Marisa Costa, AMIKO
“In this industry, when we have the opportunity to get a bunch of rockstars and like-minded people in the same room, that’s where the magic really happens. The week spent at the Future Leaders in Travel Retreat was incredible beyond words. It’s amazing what can be learned in just three days through thoughtful and transparent conversations with fellow travel advisors and supplier partners. Having the opportunity to connect with such incredible people was such a blessing, and I am walking away from this experience with so many wonderful new professional relationships and connections.”

“The travel industry is changing because of Future Leaders. We asked some big questions and had the time to thoughtfully answer and discuss. It's clear that no one in the room feared change, but rather, were ready to step up where needed for the good of the entire community.”

“At last (!) we have a chance to meet young, like-minded individuals, and share our experiences in the sometimes old school travel industry. Future Leaders is truly a one-of-a-kind event.”
- Yael Golan, Israel Ministry of Tourism
“Future Leaders shed some light on where the travel community is headed—straight to the top! It was very beneficial to sit in on the workshops, as a supplier, and hear valuable feedback and also be apart of these discussions on how to elevate your business and yourself. I was inspired because for one of the very first times in my career, I was in a room of only my peers.”
