Meeting/Event Information

Let’s be honest – the best insights at an industry event often happen in the hallway during a coffee break. We’re taking that energy and putting it center stage for our next Educational Event.

Join the GBTA Tampa Bay Chapter at the Hyatt Place/House Downtown Tampa for a high-impact, interactive Live Chat. We know you want the best bang for your buck, and in a year as complex as 2026, the best resources aren't on a PowerPoint slide; they are sitting right next to you.

The Group Chat Live: 3 Topics, 1 Hour

While you enjoy lunch, your table will serve as a Mini-Think Tank to tackle:

1. AI in the Real World: What’s actually working FOR YOU (and what’s just hype).
2. Accessibility: Ensuring inclusive travel is a standard, not an afterthought.
3. The World Cup Squeeze: Survival strategies for the 2026 North American peak demand. 

We are raffling off a $500 Delta Air Lines voucher! Raffle tickets will be available for purchase at the registration desk and throughout the lunch.

Want to increase your odds of winning?

Bring a new Travel Buyer that is a non-member and: 

• Your Travel Buyer guest gets a Free registration to the event.
• For every Travel Buyer you bring, you receive 5 FREE Raffle Tickets.

 Come for the networking, stay for the collective brilliance of our Tampa Bay travel community, and help us welcome new buyers to the chapter.
