TOUR LEADER CONFERENCE

October 18-19, 2023 — Vienna, Austria

Join us for a tour leader conference in Vienna!

Network. Bond together. Learn from industry professionals. Get new potential work leads. Connect with the global tour leader community. GuideTOGETHER is a unique opportunity to spend two days taking your tour leader career to the next level!

The event is hosted by the tour leader training organization TripSchool, in partnership with TourRadar and the Global Guide Alliance. The goal is to show each other—and the world—the power of guided experiences and the importance of tour leaders!

Bond with fellow tour leaders and guides.
