“Building Bridges”: Trevello gears up for 2026 conference in Belfast

Trevello Travel Group is gearing up for its 2026 annual conference – this year, called "Building Bridges” – in one of the world's most storied cities, Belfast, Northern Island’s capital.

The event from May 3-8, organized in collaboration with Brendan Vacations, a Celtic destination specialist with TTC Tour Brands, will bring together more than 250 travel advisors and supplier partners from across Canada.

The “full-contact” gathering, designed to make advisors more connected, confident, and capable, will be covered on the ground by PAX. So watch this space for updates.

“This conference reflects what Trevello stands for,” said Zeina Gedeon, CEO of Trevello Travel Group, in a statement. “When advisors, supplier partners, and our head office come together with a shared purpose, we don’t just build connections, we build stronger businesses and a stronger industry.”

What to expect

"Building Bridges" will begin with Trevello’s team on the ground in Belfast, personally welcoming attendees as they arrive. A new-to-industry cocktail party will also kick off the week. 

Trevello’s Partner Networking Tracks will then return, promising structured, high-value, face-to-face conversations between advisors and supplier partners, unlocking real business opportunities.

The evening moves into Belfast’s most vibrant venues, such as Waterman and The Dark Horse, where advisors experience the city firsthand.

Later in the week, on Tuesday (May 5), Trevello’s Meeting of the Minds session will unfold. This is where advisors choose their topics, set their agenda, and drive their own growth.

That evening, the iconic Titanic Belfast will host the conference’s Gala. Expect a black-tie celebration of excellence, achievement, and the community that makes it all possible.

Like previous years, Trevello’s conference will once again land on International Travel Advisor Day (May 6).

A keynote from David Meade opens the morning. He will challenge advisors to think bigger about their impact, their potential, their future.

Then the group will disperse across Northern Ireland on eight curated tours, advisors and supplier partners side by side, experiencing the destination together.

The group will take to Belfast’s streets through the iconic Black Taxi tours and guided walks ,  absorbing the history, the culture, the stories that make the destination unforgettable to sell.

The week closes with the “Cross the Bridge” Farewell, an interactive activation where advisors, supplier partners, and Trevello’s head office cross together – not as attendees and organizers, but as one community.

Trevello says its conference is designed by advisors, for advisors, and will change the trajectory of one’s business.

“It’s about how we engage, take action, and turn these connections into real results,” said Trevello’s Susan Lawson, director of engagement.
