TravelManagers’ annual national conference brings together personal travel managers (PTMs), National Partnership Office (NPO) team, trade and media industry partners and partner suppliers in what is always a vibrant celebration.
Our three day event typically includes plenary sessions, workshops, a trade show, team building, and evening networking. It’s exciting, engaging, and our personal travel managers are reenergised when they go back to their businesses. It’s the highlight of our year, and we are excited to be taking conference to Bali in 2025!
I loved the coming together of everyone at the conference! I am a bit of an avoider of large gatherings but it really was a great feeling to be surrounded by colleagues who all are very passionate.
2022 was my first conference, and what I took away it was new and inspiring ways to organise my business and me. To reconnect with what I love most - selling dreams.
We work in an industry where our BDMs are often our lifeline - it was amazing reconnecting with them at the conference. Hearing from other PTMs, how they operate, how they market, how they manage this wonderful work/life balance was inspiring. Our guest speakers left me feeling as though I could move mountains, such words of inspiration! Our NPO (National Partnership Office) shared where they want to take the company, answered so many questions, held debates and made themselves available to us, they really make you feel part of the development of the company.
Joining TravelManagers has been the right decision for me, attending conference was an opportunity to network, absorb from other PTMs' experiences and help me plan my TravelManagers journey. It was exhausting, and it took me a week to recover from it but I am very much looking forward to the next conference!
The TravelManagers conference was amazing. It brought me so much more knowledge & great advice that I could use in my business. Also, networking amongst fellow TravelManagers and industry operators was invaluable.
Our 2024 conference was held in Cairns, with the theme : ‘Working Smarter’. Each achievement highlighted the vast opportunities ahead and discussions centered on small habits that could save hours, strategic product selection for better returns, and innovative technologies to streamline operations. Our conference event encouraged all aspects of TravelManagers Australia to work smarter, aiming to make 2024 a year of intentional choices. Find out more about our 2024 conference.
The theme of our 2022 conference was ‘Together’: celebrating the opportunity for PTMs from around Australia to come together for the first time since the 2019 conference in Perth. As with previous years, our 2022 conference theme works on many levels. Chosen for our 2020 conference which was subsequently cancelled, we believe this theme is even more important now than ever. It provided our 350+ delegates with the opportunity to tell stories of how we have benefited from working collaboratively, and gives us the platform to explore ways that we can continue to do so, and create new synergies that enable us all to thrive.
