      About this trip

      Join us at TripCon, a global tour director & guide hiring conference in the heart of New York City!


      Full event page with more details can be found here.


      We work in the travel industry so our conference should take place in cities we visit and include education that includes the environment that we are in and vendors we use. At TripCon, we will not only include the standard things you've grown accustomed to, but we will re-invent it!


      Our conference space is a Brooklyn warehouse, and the city itself. Join us for education sessions that are in-house and interactive with tour operators and tour directors, plus outdoor sessions on the streets of NYC.


      TripCon will be unlike any other event you have attended, and you can count on us to make this a conference you will never forget!

      Courtesy Rates on Hotels

      We have established a courtesy group block at the following hotels - all hotels are in Times Square and close to each other. You are not required to stay here, but we wanted you to have access to our negotiated rates at a central place. Also, those pesky "resort fees" are waived for our group!


      On the conference days we will have transportation options and guides to help you go from the hotel area to the event space!


      Note: When booking the Millennium Hotel(s) - you have to "edit" the pre-filled in dates. Also, be sure the correct property is named (you have to change it to the Broadway location if that's the one you want). You can also call Millennium Broadway Hotels reservation department at +1 (212) 768-4400 and ask for reservations - In doing so, attendees must ask for the group rate for Trip School November Conference ROOM BLOCK for November 10-14th,2024
