Remember that time Gwyneth Paltrow stepped out in Las Vegas to talk to hundreds of Flight Centre consultants or that time Jessie J brought the house down with Will i Am in Macao?
Can you recall the hormones racing when Jason Derulo performed shirtless in Singapore or the keen curiosity raised when former US President Bill Clinton made an appearance in Hawaii?
The Flight Centre Travel Group really knows how to make jaws drop at its annual Global Gathering and we expect this year’s event will be no different.
With less than 24 days to go until hundreds of consultants and their closest industry partners board an exclusively charted Etihad plane for Berlin, KARRYON has pulled out its tweed Sherlock hat and magnifying glass for the hard task of uncovering (completely guessing) who this year’s mystery guest might be.
Our intuition tells us there’s a good chance one of Europe’s top DJs will keep the crowd dancing at least one of the nights – a conclusion that has emerged solely from the image of an animated DJ on the Global Gathering website…
Also, we expect there’ll be at least one celebrity motivational/key speaker this year, but we’re tossing between a former politician and celebrity entrepreneur.
Here’s who we came up with:
1. Calvin Harris

Travel Agents could be partying hard to “sweet, sweet” music if the Scottish DJ stops by.
2. Jamie Oliver

Agents could be dining on some delicious inspiration if the celebrity chef and entrepreneur, Jamie Oliver, is this year’s keynote speaker.
3. David Guetta

You know there won’t be a single person sitting if David Guetta rocks up with his array of “Titanium” hits.
4. Alexander Skarsgard

How did he go from Swedish sensation to Hollywood hit? Consultants could find out in Germany next month.
5. Swedish House Mafia may reunite just for FCTG

Could the group of DJs reunite for this ONE NIGHT ONLY? It could happen, or we could really be reaching with this one.
6. Richard Branson

Look at it this way: Flight Centre consultants are flying to Berlin with Etihad. Etihad has always found a friend in Virgin Australia. Virgin Australia was co-founded by Richard Branson. Richard Branson COULD be at this year’s Gathering.
7. Kylie Minogue

Agents won’t be able to get the singer and her hits out of their head should she perform at this year’s Global Gathering.
8. Elon Musk

Space, solar power, tesla cars – can you imagine if Elon Musk gives the keynote speech at this year’s event.
