TPC: Can you tell us how the decision to reschedule the 2024 Travel Market was made?

JC: Postponing the 2024 Travel Market conference was an incredibly difficult decision, but one we made with the safety and well-being of our attendees as the top priority. Hurricane Helene’s arrival in Florida created significant travel disruptions just as our advisors and suppliers were preparing to attend. 

Given the circumstances, postponing was the responsible choice. We are deeply grateful for the understanding and support of our Travel Market community, who responded with encouragement and appreciation for the decision. It was heartening to see some attendees even pivot to supporting our Symposium event instead. Our team also demonstrated remarkable resilience and adaptability, stepping up immediately to handle the challenges and flawlessly adjusting to the unexpected. Their dedication and flexibility were truly inspiring and a testament to the strength of our organization. 

TPC: How does this year’s theme tie in with that? 

JC: The theme [“Connected”] emphasizes the importance of relationships, community, and unity within the travel industry. Despite the disruption, our advisors, suppliers, and staff demonstrated the power of connection through their unwavering support and understanding. This event is really all about celebrating the strength of these bonds and the shared commitment to serving clients and each other. 

TRC: What can advisors expect at the Travel Market this year? Will there be anything different from years past?

JC: Advisors attending this year’s Travel Market can look forward to an event that feels like an annual family reunion, where the entire community comes together to learn, connect, and grow. Attendees will have abundant opportunities to explore the latest strategies and trends designed to drive even greater sales success. The conference will feature inspiring sessions led by expert speakers, offering fresh perspectives and actionable insights to help advisors take their businesses to the next level. 

Most importantly, advisors will deepen their connections within the travel community, strengthening relationships and accessing exclusive advantages that set them apart in the marketplace. Advisors can expect more breakout sessions than ever before, focusing on innovative strategies and tools designed to enhance their marketing efforts and leverage cutting-edge technology solutions. These sessions will introduce fresh thinking and practical approaches to help advisors streamline their businesses, connect with clients more effectively, and elevate their overall success. 

TPC: What is the number one piece of advice for someone who will be attending for the first time?

JC: For first-time attendees, the best piece of advice is to be fully present and immerse yourself in every aspect of the event. Attend as many sessions as possible, as each one offers valuable insights and positive outcomes tailored to help advisors succeed. Approach the conference with an open mind, ready to learn, share, and embrace new ideas.
