Speaking, Workshops & Industry Engagement
Bringing bold ideas and practical insight to tourism audiences through keynotes, workshops, and facilitated conversations.
The Challenge
The tourism industry is evolving rapidly. Conferences, leadership gatherings, and industry events are opportunities to explore new ideas and challenge the status quo.
Audiences are looking for conversations that go beyond surface-level trends and dive into the real issues shaping the future of destinations.
How We Help
Jenn Barbee and Kristen Cruz regularly speak at tourism conferences, industry events, and leadership gatherings across North America.
Presentations and workshops may explore topics such as:
- The evolving relationship between destinations and short-term rentals
- The future role of destination organizations
- Tourism leadership and industry evolution
- Host engagement and alignment strategies
- Strategic thinking for modern destinations
Sessions are designed to be engaging, insightful, and grounded in real industry experience.
If you’re planning a conference, leadership retreat, or industry event, we’d be happy to explore how we can contribute to the conversation.
