Helloworld Travel has unveiled plans for a major international network gathering in 2027, with Las Vegas confirmed as the host city for its inaugural Helloworld Travel Summit.
Announced at the close of the 2026 Owner Managers Conference (OMC) in Cairns (where Karryon was on location), the event will run from 16-20 May 2027 and bring together members from across Helloworld Travel’s Australian and New Zealand retail divisions for the first time.
Working alongside Brand USA, Travel Nevada and the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, Helloworld is positioning the summit as a larger-scale evolution of its existing conference program.
According to travel giant, the event will unite members from its branded and associate networks, Helloworld Business Travel, Magellan, My Travel Group, Alatus, ETG and MTA, alongside New Zealand networks including First Travel Group, You Travel and The Travel Brokers.
CEO and managing director Andrew Burnes AO described the summit as a significant expansion of the company’s conference model, broadening its reach across the wider network.
“We are thrilled to be redefining our conference offering for 2027,” Burnes said.
“For the first time, this will be a unified event that brings together all of our retail networks, creating a larger, more dynamic platform for connection, collaboration and business growth.”
Further details, including registration information and program highlights, are expected in the coming months.
“This is a significant program for both our network members and our supplier partners with an expanded program designed to deliver value at every level, while maintaining the strong foundations that have made our conferences so successful,” Burnes said.
“Las Vegas is an exceptional international destination with appeal for Australian and New Zealand travellers, and we are delighted to be presenting this summit.”
Karryon attended OMC 2026 as a guest of Helloworld.
KARRYON UNPACKS: Bringing Helloworld’s Australian and New Zealand networks together in one international destination signals bigger ambitions. For members, it’s another reminder that scale, collaboration and supplier partnerships matter more than ever.
