For 11 years, TPOC Conferences have provided opportunities for hundreds of travel professionals to get the knowledge, access and resources that are critical to staying on top. This one-of-a-kind conference not only offers top industry speakers, a host of cutting-edge educational workshops and seminars, Travel Roundtable & Panel Discussions, and Heritage Tourism Workshops and Tours, but great opportunities to network with hundreds of "minority" travel professionals as well as earn CTA and CTC accreditations.

If you are still in school, TPOC's Student Chapter reps are eager for your participation.
