Well, That Was AWESOME!
In the final week of October, KAI partnered with 4 other luxury travel representation companies to bring a virtual travel conference unlike anything the industry had ever seen. With more than 130 sessions on 5 virtual stages over 2 days, RepFest was an informative and fun Celebration of Travel, with all profits donated to our chosen charity, Every Mother Counts ($10,844 was raised for this incredible organization). For those that participated, thank you! And remember that all sessions were recorded and are available to view in The Vault until the end of the month.
We hope you joined us live for RepFest but if you didn’t, don’t worry, there is more to come…
