North America’s largest retail travel agency network amps up education, training and network opportunities this Fall with eleven more mixers across Canada. The Travel Leaders Network events which sold out across the country throughout the year offer a platform where top suppliers can personally interact with owners and managers, free of charge to the members.

Hosted by Travel Leaders Network Canada’s Business Development Managers, Sue Urie (Western Region) and Melissa Wheaton (Eastern Region), evenings typically begin with an informal mini-trade show and cocktail hour which allows time for networking and business-building opportunities with key suppliers. This is followed by dinner during which each supplier delivers a brief overview of revenue-generating promotions and offers available to members. These small and intimate settings target approximately 40 attendees, allowing each person the opportunity to actively participate.

Following is the remaining schedule of mixers for 2023:

• Sept. 12 – Saskatoon
• Sept. 19 – Vancouver
• Sept. 26 – Moncton
• Sept. 26 – Calgary
• Sept. 27 – Halifax
• Nov. 08 – St. Catherine’s, Ont.
• Nov. 14 – Winnipeg
• Nov. 21 – Montréal
• Nov. 22 – Ottawa
• Dec. 06 – Richmond Hill, Ont.
• Dec. 12 – Vancouver

“Each mixer provides an excellent opportunity for suppliers to network with agents, build personal relationships, solicit ideas and feedback from members and share product information,” said Christine James, VP of Travel Leaders Network in Canada. “In turn, it is a valuable opportunity for members to get together, share business practices, hear updates, and receive product knowledge from suppliers and build an overall sense of strength and community. We understand that if our members and suppliers are successful, we are successful and that’s a winning proposition.”

Member agents can register for upcoming mixers through CanadaNet.
