Fast-track learning with webinars and events this February

With a busy month ahead, travel agents have multiple opportunities to connect with tourism offices and suppliers through a range of live webinars, recorded sessions, and industry events.

February is packed with valuable insights, expert-led discussions, and exciting prize opportunities designed to help agents stay informed and engaged.

Six ways to make the most of February’s learning opportunities

To help agents access information at their convenience, here are six tips to maximise learning:

  1. Register for all webinars of interest – even if attending live isn’t possible, registered attendees will receive follow-up information and recordings.
  2. Use the Webinar Library search bar – quickly find recordings relevant to specific travel queries.
  3. Leverage webinar recordings as a supplier directory – access links to key contacts and industry resources.
  4. Schedule time to watch recordings – set aside dedicated time in the calendar to catch up on valuable content.
  5. Watch on 1.5x speed – save time while staying informed by speeding up playback (with the option to pause for notes).
  6. Tune into the Travel Agent Takeaways Podcast – available on Apple, Spotify, and online for convenient listening.

With a range of upcoming live webinars and the return of the Visit USA Expos, February is a prime time for travel agents to expand their knowledge and network with industry leaders.
