TORONTO (July 21, 2026) – Travel Leaders Network, the largest network for professional travel agents in North America, is introducing an exciting new chapter for its Canadian members with the launch of ELEVATE Canada, a dedicated two-day conference created exclusively for Canadian travel advisors and preferred partners.

Taking place at the Hilton Vancouver Metrotown on October 20-21, 2026, and at the Pearson Convention Centre in Toronto on October 28-29, 2026, ELEVATE Canada represents a significant evolution of the network’s regional events, delivering more time, more learning opportunities and more meaningful connections for advisors across the country.

Designed specifically with the Canadian market in mind, ELEVATE Canada will feature Canadian-focused content, industry discussions, educational workshops, supplier partner engagement opportunities and networking events aimed at helping advisors strengthen their businesses and prepare for the busy winter travel season.

Participants can expect a robust agenda that includes general sessions led by industry leaders, Travel Leaders Network workshops, preferred partner education sessions, structured roundtable discussions, a dynamic trade show and hosted networking experiences.

“Canadian travel advisors continue to demonstrate tremendous professionalism, resilience and entrepreneurial spirit,” said Lindsay Pearlman, President of Travel Leaders Network. “With ELEVATE Canada we’re creating a conference experience designed specifically for their needs – one that delivers practical business insights, stronger supplier partner relationships and valuable opportunities to collaborate with peers from across the country. By expanding to a two-day format, we’re giving our members more time to learn, connect and position themselves for continued success in a rapidly evolving travel landscape.”

“Canadian travel advisors are among the most passionate and resilient professionals in our industry, and they deserve an event created specifically for them,” said Christine James, CTM, Travel Leaders Network’s Vice President, Canada. “We are excited to welcome advisors and partners together in person to exchange ideas, discover new opportunities and celebrate successes in Vancouver and Toronto for what promises to be an outstanding inaugural event.”
