Conference to be Held May 19-22, 2027, at Moon Palace Cancun

NEW YORK (May 14, 2026) – For the first time ever, Travel Leaders Network will take its annual conference, EDGE, to Mexico. From May 19-22, 2027, thousands of travel advisors, partners and Travel Leaders Network staff will gather at the Moon Palace Cancun to Educate, Discover, Gather, and Evolve. This will be the first EDGE held outside the United States.

“We are thrilled to bring EDGE to Moon Palace Cancun,” said Lindsay Pearlman, President, Travel Leaders Network. “Since Travel Leaders Network began a relationship with Palace seven years ago, it has been a goal to have EDGE at one of Palace’s properties, so this represents the culmination of years of planning for our first international EDGE. Beyond that, Mexico and Cancun represent some of our best partners and highest-selling destinations. They are beloved by our members and their clients, and being onsite to experience their culture and hospitality will only help strengthen that relationship.”

In 2025 alone, Travel Leaders Network member agencies sent 1.1 million visitors on Mexican land vacations, representing $2 billion in sales. The Mexican Caribbean is an especially popular part of Mexico, with 749,000 of the 1.1 million travelers going to that region of the country. Cruises with Mexican port stops were also prevalent with TLN members’ clients, with 591,000 additional travelers visiting Mexico by sea in 2025.

Mexican Caribbean CEO Andrés Martinez Reynoso said, “The announcement of EDGE 2027 in the Mexican Caribbean represents a landmark moment for our destination and for the continued globalization of the travel industry. Hosting the first international edition of this premier conference in Cancún is a testament to the strength of our partnership with Travel Leaders Network and further reinforces the Mexican Caribbean’s position as one of the world’s most dynamic, accessible, and trusted tourism destinations.

“We are proud to welcome more than 2,000 North American travel advisors and industry leaders to experience firsthand the extraordinary diversity, hospitality and sophistication that define our 12 destinations. From luxury and wellness to gastronomy, culture, nature and adventure, the Mexican Caribbean offers an unmatched portfolio of experiences that continues to resonate with travelers from around the world.”

“It’s an honor to be the host of EDGE’s first international and all-inclusive event,” said Gibran Chapur, CEO, The Palace Company. “EDGE is one of the industry’s largest gatherings of travel advisors, and

being able to share our beautiful resort with this incredible community of professionals is something we’re truly looking forward to. We can’t wait to welcome Travel Leaders Network in May 2027!”

Registration for EDGE 2027 will open later this year. The conference will feature dynamic General Sessions, hundreds of workshops, and opportunities to make new connections with fellow members and partners.
