Gifted Travel Network Announces Symposium 2027: Building a More Strategic, Profitable Approach to Group Travel
MOORESVILLE, NC, May 15, 2026 — Gifted Travel Network (GTN), a luxury host agency recognized for its award-winning professional development and deeply collaborative advisor community, just announced Symposium 2027: Building a More Strategic, Profitable Approach to Group Travel. This five-day immersive learning experience will be hosted aboard the fully-chartered AmaWaterways' AmaSonata, sailing from Budapest, Hungary to Vienna, Austria, March 5–10, 2027. By popular demand, this year's Symposium returns to the theme that launched the event back in 2023, selling group travel.
A two-time Gold Magellan Award winner from Travel Weekly, GTN’s Symposium is one of the travel industry's most distinctive advisor experiences. Unlike traditional conferences, it is designed as an intentional working retreat that is centered around one specific focus.
Symposium 2027 will guide advisors through the strategy, structure, and mindset required to build a sustainable group travel business. Through guided working sessions, small-group peer collaboration, and meaningful access to preferred partners, participants will explore how group travel fits within their broader business model, how to approach and position it more intentionally, and how to create more consistency and predictability in their revenue.
"At GTN, we've always believed that the most meaningful learning happens through conversation, collaboration, and shared experience," said Amy Pearson-Jensen, Director of Curriculum & Learning Experience at Gifted Travel Network. "Symposium was designed with that philosophy at its core, creating space for advisors to step away from the noise of daily business and engage in deeper, more intentional work alongside trusted peers and partners. This year's focus on group travel came directly from the conversations we've been having with advisors and the growing demand for support in this area, which is exactly what makes the Symposium experience so intentional and uniquely GTN."
Symposium 2027 is designed for advisors who are serious about building or refining a group travel strategy. It is open exclusively to GTN advisors, and space is limited to ensure the depth of conversation and access that defines the experience.
