Expedia Group Annual Conference – Las Vegas

Since 1999, Expedia Group has brought together industry partners, technology vendors, influencers, and journalists for an immersive conference in Las Vegas. This premier event celebrates the power of travel and the collective impact of the industry in making the traveler the hero.

With 90+ speakers, an expansive Expo, 33 sponsors, and over 24 breakout sessions, the conference provides a dynamic platform for innovation, collaboration, and inspiration. Expedia’s goal is for attendees to leave reinvigorated, with a renewed passion for their work and a shared commitment to shaping the future of travel.

Past talent highlights include: Wyclef, Ewan McGregor, Light Balance, and Brian Newman.

As one executive powerfully stated during the conference:
"When we come together, we can change the world."

Expanding the EXPLORE Universe

EXPLORE was reimagined as more than a single event—it became a scalable event and content ecosystem designed to drive deeper partner engagement across markets, audiences, and moments that matter.

In 2025, the strategy focused on evolving EXPLORE into a flagship brand supported by a series of consistent, repeatable programs. This approach allowed for greater reach, stronger storytelling, and tailored experiences that met partners where they are—globally, regionally, and locally.

The EXPLORE Framework

EXPLORE (Flagship)
A large-scale partner appreciation and thought-leadership event, bringing together global partners, senior leadership, and immersive content experiences in one destination.

EXPLORE Connect
Highly curated, shorter-format events designed for specific locations and lines of business. These programs deliver targeted content, intimate networking, and meaningful conversations tailored to each audience.

EXPLORE Local
Regional partner forums aligned with major industry events, enabling local market engagement while maintaining a consistent brand experience and strategic leadership presence.

Together, this ecosystem demonstrates how a single flagship idea can scale into a global, flexible platform—balancing consistency with customization to drive impact, connection, and measurable business outcomes.
