🗝️ 12:05 PM: KEYNOTE - The Intentional Advisor: A Mindful Pause to Detox Your Tech and Prioritize What Matters

Barbara Joseph, Strategic Advisor & Travel Technology Leader

What if the secret to working smarter wasn't adding more technology, but being more intentional with what you already have? In this keynote, we'll explore three intentional pauses to help travel advisors cut through the tech overwhelm, simplify their systems, and make AI work for them without adding more tools or subscriptions. Learn how to identify where technology can truly make a difference, tap into the resources and AI capabilities your trusted partners already offer, and focus on what matters most: building meaningful client relationships. Attendees will walk away with practical strategies and a one-page Intentional Advisor Canvas to help them simplify, prioritize, and work more efficiently.

Malia Asfour, Interim CEO - Tourism Cares

Matt Berna, SVP USA - Intrepid Travel

What if responsible travel wasn't about doing more, but about making different choices? Join Intrepid Travel and Tourism Cares for a conversation about how travel advisors can help clients discover destinations beyond the usual hotspots, create experiences that benefit local communities, and make a positive impact through travel. Drawing on Intrepid's Not Hot List and Tourism Cares' Meaningful Travel Map, we'll explore practical ways advisors can incorporate responsible travel into their businesses, differentiate their offerings, and create more meaningful experiences for their clients.
