Get ready for the TravelManagers annual conference

The best in the business are heading on up to the Northern Territory this weekend for TravelManagers 10th National Conference – and it’s set to be a doozy.

This year, the theme for the conference will be ‘ONE’, TravelManagers Executive General Manager, Michael Gazal, said.

“The conference theme of ONE resonates with all that we do.

“We will explore our theme throughout our entire conference by way of peer to peer and supplier partner presentations, workshops, tradeshows and participation in our community event,” he said.

“ONE is many things – how we work together as ONE, that ONE big thing you may be working towards, or it could be the ONE thing you can change that will make the biggest difference in your life.

“ONE is also about your sense of ONE – ONE individual working within ONE network, and what that means for our PTMs,” he added.

The event will be jam-packed with workshops and talks – with eight top-of-the-ladder personal travel managers (PTMs) sharing their success stories for the lucky attendees.

There’s also an impressive lineup of keynote speakers, including Naomi Simson from Red Shark and Ben Roberts-Smith, the most decorated serving soldier in the Commonwealth.

Both the PTMs and the keynote speakers will provide relevant, inspiring talks and content as well as deliver thought provoking open forum discussions.

“TravelManagers prides itself on previously having innovative and motivational speakers at our national conferences and this year we really have lifted the bar ever further.

“Naomi and Ben’s incredible stories of success and tenacity to succeed are nothing short of awe inspiring and our PTM’s are simply buzzing with excitement about this year’s conference,” Gazal said.

The PTM presentations are set to be a big hit as well, inspiring their fellow travel professionals.

“The personal travel managers will share with their peers their own personal and professional journeys providing ideas, inspiration, skills and strategies that have contributed to their success.

“I have no doubt these presentations will provide invaluable wisdom and motivation and it really does highlight the genuine support and camaraderie that exists within the personal travel manager network,” Gazal said.

But the conference won’t be all talk and no play; guests will have time to discover and explore the many activities Darwin has to offer – including a visit to Mindl Markets (pictured below) plus the Gala Awards Dinner at SKYCITY Hotel and Resort.

Around 389 people, including over 100 suppliers, are expected to turn up to the event, held from the 7-9 September at Darwin’s Convention Centre.
