This session will include an overview of global trends presented by Google Industry Manager Travel Henry Meagher.

There will also be a ‘Turning Obstacles into Opportunities’ panel with Heidi Denning, who will offer self-leadership strategies to help travel advisors overcome obstacles and seize new opportunities.

Other sessions include a State of the Industry panel of cruise line heads, and a keynote presentation on emerging opportunities by Uniworld President & Chief Executive Officer Ellen Bettridge.
