The three-day gathering takes place from 28-30 November at CENTREPIECE at Melbourne Park, with the Preferred Supplier Exhibition scheduled for Saturday 29 November.
Managing Director Christian Hunter says any travel agency owner who wishes to attend the Preferred Supplier Exhibition need only email their details to
events@travellerschoice.com.au.
“Given the ongoing pressures around staff recruitment and retention, we know many independent agents struggle to find the time or opportunities to meet face-to-face with suppliers, and the challenge is even greater for those outside of metropolitan centres,” says Hunter.
“Throwing open the doors to our Preferred Supplier Exhibition will give agents a chance to connect with leading travel companies and tourism organisations. At the same time, it hopefully provides agents with a little insight into the welcoming and supportive culture for which Travellers Choice is renowned.”
Non-members will also be welcome to sit in on conference sessions during the Saturday, including the keynote address by Hunter, and presentations by ATIA Chief Executive Deal Long and award-winning business growth expert Matt Alderton.
This year’s conference provides an opportunity for Travellers Choice members to come together to celebrate a range of achievements during 2025, not least of which is the group’s fifth consecutive win last month of the coveted NTIA Most Outstanding Travel Agency Network award. Members will also take part in the company’s Annual General Meeting and attend the group’s own National Awards Gala Dinner.
