WHY IT RATES: The first annual conference gave travel agents the chance to grow
their business through networking and advice.—Donald Wood, News Editor.
If you’re a travel advisor who skipped The Biz Huddle this
year, here’s the truth: you missed more than a conference—you missed a
movement. While most travel events are vendor-heavy and product-focused, The
Biz Huddle was all about you, the entrepreneur behind the bookings. The
inaugural event in Austin, TX, wasn’t just inspiring; it was a masterclass in
execution, transformation, and tangible results.
The first annual Biz Huddle, held July 22–25, 2025, in
Austin, Texas, proved to be a game changer for the travel advisor community.
From the moment founder Courtnie Nichols took the mic, it was clear this wasn’t
your average industry event. Her words hit home:
“Leaving here inspired is the bare minimum.
Inspiration is easy. What I really want is for you to take action… to go home
and put what you learned into motion, so your business doesn’t just stay the
same—it grows.”
Unlike the typical supplier-led trade shows, The Biz
Huddle is a business mastermind laser-focused on the growth of travel agencies.
And when agencies grow, suppliers win too.
This year’s lineup of trainings included sessions like:
- Systems & Automation
- Sales Funnels That Convert
- Building Your Team’s Core
- AI in Your Business
- Financial Health for Entrepreneurs
- SEO Power Hour
- and a wildly popular session on passive income
strategies—including one shockingly simple way advisors are already sitting on
five-figure opportunities.
Attendees weren’t just passively listening—they were
actively implementing. Laptops open, minds sharp, travel professionals were
applying lessons in real-time. The speakers? Not only award-winning experts,
but also practitioners with a proven track record of scaling businesses across
multiple industries. And they didn’t disappear after their session—they stayed,
mingled, answered questions, and mentored attendees one-on-one.
“This week reminded me that great businesses
aren’t built on autopilot—they are built on intention,” said “Melisa Keiser of Carmel Travel Company in Carmel, Indiana. “The Biz Huddle pushed
me to take a hard look at how I run my business and sparked fresh ideas I can’t
wait to implement.”
“This is exactly what I’ve been searching for.
There’s literally nothing else like The Biz Huddle in the travel
industry,” added Patty Zesut of Exemplary Travel Advisors in Houston,
Texas.
“So grateful to have attended this event,”
said Emily Miller of Lark Song Travel in Austin, Texas. “Not only did it
change the way I think about my business, but I was honored to be in the room
with all of these high-caliber advisors and speakers. Can’t wait until
2026!”
The vibe? Electric. The value? Next level. Travel
suppliers and consortia sponsors in attendance also seized the opportunity to
connect with high-performing advisors in an authentic, meaningful way—something
traditional booths can’t deliver.
And the best part? This was just the beginning.
Don’t Miss Next Year
