Vanguard Experience AI Edition
One day. Expert presenters. Real tools demonstrated live on screen. Everything your travel business needs to get ahead of AI — shown to you step by step, in real time, by people who know how to make it make sense.
AI is already changing
how travel is sold.
Artificial intelligence is reshaping every industry on earth, and the travel industry is no exception. Yet the vast majority of travel agents, DMCs, hotels, and tourism boards operating in the North American market today have had no basic, structured, practical introduction to the tools that are already transforming how their competitors work, market, and sell.
Vanguard Experience: AI Edition is a one-day, entry-level AI conference designed specifically for travel industry professionals — not technologists, not software developers, but the agents, advisors, suppliers, and tourism marketers who need to understand what AI can do for their business right now and leave with the knowledge and confidence to start using it immediately.
Presentations by experts that know how to explain things from the ground up. That is the difference.
It is not about the future of AI. It is about what you can do with AI today, in your travel business, starting the moment you leave the room.
The agents who get this
now will not look back.
The travel industry is at an inflection point. The agents and suppliers who understand and adopt AI tools in the next 12–24 months will operate with a structural advantage over those who do not — producing more content, serving more clients, building better itineraries, and marketing more effectively at a fraction of the current cost in time and resource.
Vanguard Experience: AI Edition exists to close that gap. It is not a technology conference for people who already understand technology. It is a practical, jargon-free, travel-specific day of education for the professional who has heard about AI, suspects it matters, and has not yet found a room designed for them to learn about it in.
Every session is built around a single question: what can I do differently on Monday morning? Every speaker is selected for their ability to make complex tools feel immediately accessible. Every tool demonstrated is available, affordable, and relevant to your specific workflows.
Built for the people
who move travel.
This day is designed for the travel professional who is ready to work smarter and has not yet found the right room to learn how.
Agents Who Want to Work at a Higher Level
Agents that want to work faster, write better, build stronger and more compelling itineraries, and market themselves more efficiently using AI tools that are built for non-technical users. No prior AI experience required.
Hotels, DMCs & Tourism Boards
Hotel, DMC, and Tourism Board sales and operations teams who need to produce more content at scale, respond to queries faster, and stretch small marketing budgets further — without hiring additional staff.
Sessions designed to
deliver from minute one.
Back-to-back sessions delivered live on screen. Every presenter demonstrates real tools in real time — you watch them work, see exactly how it is done, and walk away knowing how to do it yourself. No theory. No fluff. Just practical, screen-shared expertise you can apply immediately.
Watch it done live.
Then do it yourself.
Every session at Vanguard Experience: AI Edition is built around one principle: the best way to learn a tool is to watch someone who knows it use it in real time, on screen, with no cuts and no shortcuts.
Each presenter shares their screen and walks through practical, travel-specific examples — writing a client email, building an itinerary, creating a social post, researching a destination — so you see exactly what to click, what to type, and what results to expect. No slide decks full of bullet points. No abstract explanations. Just real tools, real outputs, and a presenter you can watch and learn from directly.
By the end of the day you will have watched every major AI tool demonstrated in a context that is directly relevant to your business — and you will have the recording to go back to whenever you need a refresher.
