Please come and join us for the first ever SIR - Sustainability is Responsibility Summit, www.ustoa.com/sir, taking place in Bodø, Norway, May 24-26, 2022. It is an invaluable event you do not want to miss.
The Summit will bring member representatives from across the travel industry value chain to the table for interactive dialog, educational content and case study learnings. The goal is to foster future collaborations, innovative approaches and cross-sector education that will benefit everyone involved and set the path for a more sustainable future for the travel industry.
The Summit is designed as an executive-level interactive conference with inspirational, interactive and educational content, aiming to give all attendees valuable insight, a chance to reflect, discuss, learn and gain knowledge that you can utilize for your own unique needs and business development purposes. It is suitable for executive level attendees, CEOs and Directors, and attendance will be capped at 40 leaders to secure a qualitative level of involvement and interaction.
Expressions of interest in attending are open to both USTOA Active and Associate Members with a focus on senior leadership (CEO's and Directors). This event is designed to bring together a cross-functional representation of the travel industry with the intention of assembling a diverse, comprehensive group to create meaningful outputs not just for those participating, but also the industry at large. For that reason, and given our capacity limitations, although all USTOA Active and Associate Members are welcome to express interest in attending, final selection of delegates is at the sole discretion of USTOA and Visit Norway. For those selected to participate, the registration fee will be $300 per delegate.
