SYTA SUMMIT 2025

 

SYTA Summit is a unique networking hiatus for student group tour operators and key industry partners
to connect and recharge during a three-day immersive learning experience.

The SYTA Summit leverages peer-engagement to increase connections between great ideas, trends and real-world
scenarios, to find solutions that you can use to prepare your business for the future.

Attendees are inspired and challenged by a line-up of engaging speakers and successful industry
leaders from diverse backgrounds who will offer thought-provoking points of view on new and old issues.

SYTA offers this experience as a respite from work so that you may sharpen your skills, reflect and rejuvenate.

Greg Dotson – Dr. Phillips Center for Performing Arts

There is so much value in attending Summit! The networking opportunities with leaders in the student travel industry are priceless. I was inspired by the great conversations around Sustainability and Responsible Travel and moved when our former scholarship winner, Gandi, shared his story. Scottsdale was a perfect destination for exploring and spending time with new and old colleagues.

Beth Beccone – Peak Group Travel

SYTA Summit is a fantastic opportunity to collaborate and network with my industry colleagues. The education sessions help to expand my understanding of current trends and the activities with my colleagues create friendships that go well beyond the conference. Already looking forward to next year!

Tara Hippensteel, National Director of Tourism, City Cruises

You get what you give- there are opportunities to network and learn ALL day. The Tour Operators are more open and relaxed. I’ve had the opportunity to discuss strategy and build the business- a much deeper dive than any other show.

Jessica Johnson – Disney Imagination Campus at Walt Disney World Resorts

This years annual Summit was by far one of the best! The educational components were very robust and relevant to all in the Youth Travel Industry. The engagement opportunities allowed for deep connections amongst our community of professionals that strive to create opportunities for students to Perform, Learn, and Celebrate.
