Fort Lauderdale, FL – July 8, 2025 — WorldVia Travel Network, a leader in travel advisor support and innovation, is proud to announce its Forums, a new series of growth-oriented events designed to propel sales acumen and foster powerful industry relationships for travel advisors across North America.
Worldvia’s Forum events bring together ambitious advisors and leading supplier partners in one dynamic environment, offering a unique opportunity to master sales strategies and build lasting partnerships within a focused product category. The event is tailored for business owners who are serious about driving results and becoming leaders in their specialty.
“Our Forums aren’t just another trade show,” says Joshua Harrell, Chief Revenue Officer at WorldVia Travel Network. “They’re immersive, advisor-focused experiences where every session is relevant, every strategy is actionable, and every partnership is meaningful. Advisors will walk away with the tools and connections they need to truly take command of their niche.”
Forums are launching with three distinct tracks to ensure targeted learning and collaboration—the World Explorer Forum on October 15, 2025, focused on FIT Vacations, Escorted Touring, and River Cruising; the Beachside Bliss Forum on October 16, 2025, dedicated to All-Inclusive Resorts and Global Beach Destinations; and the Cruise Compass Forum on October 17, 2025 centered on Ocean, River, and Niche Cruising.
“With our events, we really do try to meet our advisor members where they are,” says Erica Scannelli, Member Development Director at WorldVia. “Whether that’s helping them become more adept in their niche or deepen the relationships they have with supplier partner or within the network, any event for our advisors is designed to help them leave more skilled than when they came. That’s certainly our goal with our Forum series.”
Each Forum track features advanced workshops, interactive panels, and peer-to-peer info sharing, all designed to deliver real-world growth strategies. Advisors will have direct access to elite supplier partners, gain actionable insights, and collaborate with peers who share their drive for innovation and sales leadership. At the conclusion of each Forum, participants will leave with new strategies, stronger partnerships, and the confidence to take command of their chosen niche.
Attendance at Forums is by application only—all attendees must display a commitment to elevating their business and a willingness to contribute to a high-level exchange of ideas onsite.
“We like to say at WorldVia ‘work smarter, not harder,’ and with our Forums, we hope that advisors who attend walk away with actionable insights that can help them put this idea into practice,” Harrell says.
