WorldVia Travel Network today announced the launch and opening of registration for WORLD26, the company’s flagship annual conference for its travel advisor members and supplier partners to be held September 22–26, 2026 at AVA Resort Cancun in Cancun, Mexico.
WORLD26 will bring together travel entrepreneurs from across the United States for an immersive, multi-day experience designed to boost their businesses through innovative education, collaboration, and inspiration. The conference is also an opportunity for WorldVia to provide onstage updates to its network on the exciting innovations and efforts made toward assisting advisors in maximizing the potential of their businesses.
“WORLD is the centerpiece of our event portfolio,” said Erica Scannelli, WorldVia’s Director of Member Development. “It’s a reflection of our commitment to empowering our travel advisor members with the tools, strategies, and community they need to thrive. The event keeps getting bigger and better every year, and we can’t wait to deliver on that promise again in 2026.”
WORLD is WorldVia’s largest event of the year, and WORLD26 stands to build on that legacy as the highest-attended conference in its history. With expanded programming, new partner activations, and a setting along Cancun’s coastline, attendees will have the opportunity to learn from industry pioneers and subject-matter experts across a range of specialties.
Sessions include four total days of learning—the most content offered yet at the conference—include categories across marketing, operations, technology, and specialized travel niches. All content presented derives from WorldVia’s WorldVia Academy—WorldVia’s suite of education and training for its travel advisor members.
From general classroom work and intensive workshops to hands-on labs and peer-to-peer roundtables, every element of the WORLD26 agenda is designed to help advisors turn big ideas into practical plans they can implement immediately in their businesses. Advisors are offered content built around three different tracks to help discern the sessions they’re best suited for: Startup, for those just beginning their business journey, Growing, for those who are looking to reach the next level, and Established, for those who have a firm foothold for themselves and their businesses within the industry.
Another hallmark of WORLD26 is the robust population of many of the industry’s most popular and influential supplier partners, who will showcase their latest products, promotions, and sales tools. The conference’s trade show, partner-led learning sessions, and solution-focused conversations will help attendees forge relationships that translate into stronger supplier collaboration, improved profitability, and differentiated client experiences.
In addition to its business-building focus, WORLD26 will deliver the fun, energy, and camaraderie for which WorldVia’s events are known. The conference will feature signature celebrations like its Purple Party as well as the Questy Awards, which honor its advisors for their sales and community achievements. The event will also be colored by dedicated networking experiences that make it easy for attendees to connect with like-minded peers, share best practices, and celebrate their wins.
By the end of the conference, participants will depart Cancun with fresh ideas, a stronger network, and a clear roadmap for business success.
“We are so excited for everyone to see what we have planned for WORLD,” said Scannelli. “Every year, we’re struck by how transformative WORLD can be for both our team and our advisors—September can’t come fast enough.”
