Welcome to the 2026 Summer Summit!

This gathering comes at an important moment for our industry. Travel is creating enormous opportunity for the United States—and the decisions we make now will shape the next chapter for our industry. The World Cup showed what happens when visitors experience America firsthand: They see our hospitality, our energy and the unforgettable experiences our communities deliver. America’s 250th year offered another moment to reflect on what makes this country special—and the pride we feel when others experience that magic for themselves. But these moments also raised an important question: What comes next? That is why we are here.

Over the next 72 hours, we will hear from outside voices across politics, economics and business—perspectives designed to challenge our assumptions, sharpen our thinking and help us lead with greater clarity. Just as important, this week is about the conversations that happen everywhere else: Over meals, between sessions, during the Summer Auction and across every shared experience. Those moments strengthen the relationships and ideas that move this industry forward.
