Worldchoice Conference 2025 – Future Horizons “Growth and Opportunities”

The 2025 Worldchoice Ireland Conference officially luanched last Saturday morning at the stunning Johnstown Estate, where Carolanne O’Neill, Commercial Manager Worldchoice Ireland, welcomed a packed audience of trade partners and members.

This year’s theme, Future Horizons: Growth and Opportunities, focused on the power of influence in the travel industry and explores how Artificial Intelligence is shaping the future of travel. Delegates will delve into emerging opportunities that drive growth – from forging new partnerships to exploring expanding markets and embracing innovation.

Once again, the turnout from trade partners and members has been phenomenal. The continued success of the Worldchoice Conference is fuelled by the generosity of sponsors and the enthusiastic participation of the travel community.

A great line-up of speakers and topics will inspire and inform attendees throughout the day, including:

Headline Sponsors

  • Jennifer Callister – Royal Caribbean
  • Valerie Murphy – Celebrity Cruises

Followed by:

  • Aoife Gregg Anderson – United Airlines
  • Sascha Nau – Head of Trade Marketing, Amadeus
  • Blaithin O’Donnell – Air Canada
  • Creating Clever Content – Sarah Slattery, The Travel Expert
  • Andrea Stafford – AMA Waterways
  • Suzanne Rowe – MSC Cruises

A special highlight this year is the charity raffle in support of Evan’s World of Wonder and Oscar’s Kids, honouring Lorraine Quinn’s son, Evan, who sadly passed away earlier this year.

The conference will also celebrate excellence within the Worldchoice network through a series of awards recognising outstanding achievement and dedication across the industry.
