I frequently see AI becoming a distraction rather than a revenue driver. In this 10-minute session, I move beyond the general “hype” of artificial intelligence to the specific operational structures required to monetize it. I will present a condensed framework for holding teams accountable to AI-driven outcomes, ensuring technology serves the P&L, not just the IT department. This is a strategy-first talk designed for executives who need to bridge the gap between AI potential and operational reality.

The reality is we are not prepared for the stages of life, business and relationships that come along with our careers. The opportunity today is to ask yourself “what do you really want?” And how, at this conference can you “get it and do it.”

KEYNOTE SPEAKER
TRUST BEFORE THE TRANSACTION
How Branding, Marketing, Promotion, Advertising & Sales
Each Play a Role in Travel Growth
Rey Perez, #1 Global Branding Expert, AMP Your Brand
sponsored by arrivia


In today’s travel economy, growth doesn’t start with promotions or advertising it starts with trust. In this session, you’ll gain strategic clarity on the true role branding, marketing, promotion, advertising, and sales each play in driving demand, adoption, and long-term loyalty across travel platforms, hospitality brands, and enterprise partnerships.

You’ll discover why many organizations overspend on tactics that don’t convert, how misalignment between teams silently erodes trust, and the growth sequence high-performing travel brands use to move customers from awareness to preference to purchase. Walk away with a clear framework to align your brand, partners, and revenue teams so every dollar spent works harder, scales faster, and converts with confidence.

EXPERT PANEL
THE PLAYBOOK

In a world full of opinions, buzzwords, and recycled advice, what’s actually working?

THE PLAYBOOK is a fast-paced, moderator-led session where four senior industry leaders share the real strategies driving growth today — and the hard lessons that shaped them. No slides. No pitches. No rehearsed talking points.

Each executive will reveal:

The first move in their current growth playbook
A strategy that’s no longer working
A decision that changed their trajectory
What they’re betting on next

Expect candid insight, sharp perspectives, and practical intelligence you can apply immediately. This isn’t theory — it’s the blueprint leaders are using right now to navigate change, create momentum, and stay ahead.

If you want strategy, don’t miss this session!

In high-pressure environments, strategy matters – but mindset decides how leaders respond when things don’t go as planned.

Mindset, Mindset, Mindset is a fast-paced, interactive workshop designed for executives and leaders navigating constant change, rising expectations, and real-world pressure. Through guided reflection, practical tools, and table conversations, participants will learn how to interrupt reactive patterns, gain perspective in critical moments, and lead from purpose rather than pressure. Attendees will leave with a simple, repeatable mindset framework they can apply immediately – at work, at home, and when it matters most.
