Ensemble books Orlando, Bourdain for 2015

Closing off a successful 2014 conference, the Ensemble Travel Group made a few announcements that already has members looking forward to the next one.

In a closing session with more than 900 supplier and member attendees, Co-Presidents Lindsay Pearlman and Libbie Rice announced that the 2015 event will take place in Orlando Oct. 25-29, 2015 at the Omni Orlando Resort at ChampionsGate.  

Further to that, Anthony Bourdain, Emmy-winning TV host and renowned chef, will be the keynote speaker. Known for his unconventional and inquisitive style, Bourdain will share his insights into the cultures, food, and current events gained from his worldwide travels.

“With the adventure and experiential travel segments skyrocketing in popularity, we want to help our members stay on top of these profitable markets not only through programs and products, but also through major Ensemble events,” Pearlman said. “So take our largest gathering and combine it with the global insights of Anthony Bourdain, delivered in his own very unique, maverick-like style, and we’ve got one extraordinary event ahead.” 

In addition, it was announced that the 2015 Ensemble Top Producers Celebration will be held Apr. 26-May 3 aboard Uniworld Boutique River Cruise Collection’s River Countess. This annual event, which recognizes the top producers in both the U.S. and Canada, includes a number of social, recreational, and business activities. Selection criteria are based on members’ 2014 sales performance with Ensemble Travel Group’s preferred suppliers.
