Travel Edge has just completed hosting a two-day virtual conference, LIMITLESS, from July 22-23rd.

The conference welcomed leaders of the luxury travel industry, with the aim of educating, inspiring, and celebrating the craft of the travel advisor.

The conference’s theme was “We Believe In The Future Of Travel” and saw partners host live broadcasts and tours of their properties and products while giving away over $25,000 in prizes to Travel Edge Advisors.

“Limitless was born from the idea that we could offer advisors a curated, more relevant and exclusive experience to help them grow their business,” said Michael Johnson, Executive Vice President Travel Edge. “Our original intent was to meet in person in the context of the glamour and luxury of the Toronto International Film Festival. Despite the pandemic, we wanted to take control of our destiny and still connect as a team to discuss the future of travel and celebrate our incredible advisor community.”

Preferred partner highlights

Each Travel Edge preferred partner informed and entertained over 250 Travel Edge Advisors with a brand new presentation for LIMITLESS. 

Advisors enjoyed new and original content exclusively for them, such as:

• Celebrity Cruise’s captain took us on a live tour of the ship
• American Airlines showed off the newly renovated LAX lounge live
• Kensington Tours broadcast a tour of their luxury private yacht in the Caribbean
• Crystal Cruises had their famed chef demonstrate a signature dish with recipe
• Delta Airlines had famed pilot Peter Weber (ABC’s Bachelor) share his stories
• Facebook exclusively gave Travel Edge seven tips and tricks to grow their business with the social platform

“It was very important for our advisors to feel the appreciation from our travel partners and community,” said Johnson. “We didn’t ask a thing of our suppliers, other than that they offer prizes directly for the advisors – they’ve been beaten up by the pandemic and we wanted to offer some moments of inspiration.” 

Through collaboration and partnership, this virtual conference was designed to provide Travel Edge Advisors with an opportunity to learn from industry experts, connect with the community, and explore the latest in travel. It gave them an opportunity to hear from luxury suppliers from around the world, and attend development sessions ranging from sales to social media.
