About the Summit

Most conferences give you a badge and a bag; we give you a 48-hour blueprint and the certification to lead it. We ensure your experience is defined by deep interaction, peer-to-peer connection, and meaningful results.

• The Transformation: If you are navigating Operational Friction, Tech Silos, or Data Blindness, this is where those challenges are solved. This is an intensive immersion designed for high-level connection—not passive listening.
• The Community: You will be in the room with serious attraction leaders and decision-makers ready to bridge the gap between technology and guest experience.
• The Legacy: 2027 marks our third annual GT Summit, building on a history of high-value gatherings like our “Gear Up Parties” and the acclaimed Live with Sondra series, which has featured over 80 industry titans.

You aren’t just attending an event; you are joining a proven tradition of excellence.

Our audience is not just showing up—they’re showing up to work.

Our attendees are composed of serious attraction leaders and decision-makers who are actively seeking strategies to implement immediately in their businesses. While we cannot guarantee post-event business, the format, exclusive attendance cap, and the caliber of participants are specifically designed to foster high-level, actionable connections and collaborations.

The insights shared in these sessions will also be used in future educational programs, extending the impact of the content long after the event ends.

As a featured speaker, you are more than a presenter—you are a cornerstone of the GT Summit experience. In recognition of your time and expertise, we provide a comprehensive Speaker Success Package designed to amplify your reach and ensure a seamless experience.
