Fourth Tourism Seasonality Summit
Speakers
Speakers for 2027 are being confirmed now and we’ll announce them over the coming months. Each one goes straight onto their session on the programme, so you can always see who’s coming and what they’re coming to share.
Announced as they confirm
The programme for Antalya is set, and people are saying yes now. We announce speakers as they confirm from autumn 2026, and the programmeis updated with every addition. The Summit exists so that people who’ve actually done this work can share what they know, including what went wrong, and the rest of us can learn from it.
If you’ve got a worked example of a season you moved, a number you can show, or a decision you’d make differently now, the call for speakers is open. Speakers attend free of charge for all three days. Write to Ged Brown at ged@seasonalitysummit.com or apply through the speaker form.
