Summer Summit Program

With a focus on elevating this invitation-only gathering, we’re taking Summer Summit to the next level in 2025. This year’s program will feature even more thought-provoking voices from both inside and outside of travel.


Keynote Speaker Highlight

Kevin Warsh, Former Federal Reserve Governor  
"Navigating Economic Uncertainty: A Playbook for Global Volatility"

In a world of shifting macroeconomic tides, geopolitical realignments and rapidly evolving consumer behavior, travel industry leaders must make high-stakes decisions with limited information. Kevin Warsh—former Federal Reserve governor, economic advisor during the global financial crisis and trusted voice on central banking and global risk—offers a rare, candid look at what lies ahead for the global economy.

In this exclusive keynote for travel executives, Warsh will provide timely analysis of monetary policy, inflationary pressures and the structural shifts reshaping international markets. Drawing from his experience advising at the highest levels of government and finance, he will share strategic insights to help leaders assess risk, anticipate disruption and seize opportunity amid complexity and uncertainty.
