The Forum is produced by Travel Show Marketing Group (TravelSMG), an independent event organizer based in the US with a growing portfolio of programs catering to global travel suppliers eager to engage with North American travel sellers. The TravelSMG portfolio comprises both large-scale tradeshows as well as smaller boutique niche focused events. Details on our complete portfolio can be found at www.TravelSMG.com.

The event will bring in a fully-vetted audience of travel agency owners from across North America. The event offers a quality over quantity approach, selecting a limited number of agency owners, who represent significant annual sales production.

Our dedicated Travel Advisor relations team will hand-select participating travel sellers through a rigid vetting process. Each delegate will submit a written application, outlining details about their agency’s annual production and year-to-year growth. In addition to the application, our team will conduct telephone interviews, professional reference checks and reviews of their online/social presence to ensure the most qualified agency owners are in attendance.

Only agency owners will be eligible to attend. The average agency owner in attendance will represent a minimum of $3 Million in annual sales production; have proven year-to-year growth; have a minimum of 3 front-line sellers report to them (independent contractors and/or employees); and have a minimum of three years of experience as an agency owner.

To support our commitment in bringing you face-to-face with the best and brightest in the industry, the Event Management team has implemented a hosted travel advisor program, minimizing any out of pocket expenses, which allows us to engage and attract the most qualified travel advisors to the Forum.
