The #1 Event for Elevating Your Travel
The idea behind The Travel Summit was to create an event series where travellers from around the world meet to exchange new ideas, make new connections, and elevate their travel.
The Travel Summit is a gathering place for frequent travellers, first-time travellers, aspirational travellers, budget travellers, world travellers, and luxury travellers.
It’s open to anyone for whom travel is a core part of their identity, and who wishes to unlock the freedom of travelling the world on their own terms.
The Travel Summit is hosted by our team at Prince of Travel, where we believe that maximizing rewards points and loyalty programs is the best way to travel.
Thus, the event is geared towards helping attendees learn all of the best knowledge, tips, and strategies for travelling the world on points – all while exploring novel topics within the wider travel industry as a whole and how they shape each and every one of us as we discover the world.
Attendees will be able to attend keynote presentations with executives from major airlines and loyalty programs, as well as our charity partner Miles4Migrants.
Furthermore, you’ll also be able to choose from a number of breakout sessions spread across the weekend.
Each breakout time slot features one topic in each of our four tracks, styled under the broad themes of Miles & Points – The Points Beginner, Miles & Points – The Frequent Flyer, Travel Freedom – The Lifestyle Designer, and Travel Freedom – The Content Creator.
What’s more, there’ll be ample time in-between agenda items for networking with your fellow guests, speakers, and sponsors, as well as a Saturday night evening party to keep the conversations flowing over drinks and music.
Stay tuned for more details to come around The Travel Summit 2024 as it all comes together.
