The best trips don’t start at the airport. They start with preparation, perspective, and knowing what you’re getting into before you go. Whether you’re walking across Spain, exploring Iceland’s rugged landscapes, or planning a journey through South America, being prepared changes everything.

Join us for Explore More: Travel Showcase, a full day of expert-led presentations designed to help you plan smarter, pack better, and travel with confidence. Each session is led by experienced travelers who bring real-world insight, practical knowledge, and a clear understanding of what it takes to turn an idea into a successful trip.

From foundational planning to deeper, experience-driven guidance, these sessions are built to meet you wherever you are in the process. Whether you’re exploring possibilities or preparing for a specific journey, you’ll leave with tools you can apply immediately.

All sessions are free to attend. Registration is requested due to limited seating (30 per session). See each program for registration link. Registrations open on Saturday, April 11 at 9 am.
