Ensemble kicks off 2025 event series with Uncharted

Ensemble kicked off its annual branded event series with Uncharted, a daylong virtual event designed to inspire and empower members to rediscover possibilities in the ever-evolving travel landscape.

Under this year’s overarching “re” theme—representing rediscovery, renewal, and reinvention—Uncharted brought together Ensemble members and top travel partners for dynamic sessions and virtual FAMs with some of the industry’s leading brands, including Globus, G Adventures, Princess Cruises, Explora Journeys, AmaWaterways, Hyatt Inclusive Collection, The Cove and The Reef at Atlantis, Intrepid, and more.

“This year is about reimagining what’s possible and reigniting the spirit of innovation and collaboration that sets our network apart,” said Michael Johnson, president of Ensemble. “Uncharted serves as the catalyst for our members to unlock new opportunities, gain deeper expertise, and elevate their businesses through the power of community and education.”

On the agenda

The Uncharted agenda featured drop-in discussion rooms featuring sessions with Ensemble’s teams across marketing, technology and learning/development where members were able to meet the teams, ask questions and expand their knowledge
on Ensemble programs from the new partnership with HubSpot; launch of RangeTravel.com; leveraging social media; updates on Ensemble’s partner programs; and how to leverage new Certification programs across several verticals. As niche travel continues to grow, Uncharted featured dedicated sessions for Ensemble’s Circles communities, including Adventures, Ultra Luxe, Celebrations, and Cruise, offering specialized insights to help members cater to the evolving demands of travellers.

Uncharted Expo: A monthlong virtual exploration

Complementing the daylong event, Uncharted Expo – a virtual showcase to explore new destinations, discover global partners, and access curated weekly content – will run throughout February providing the more than 900 registered members with ongoing access to a virtual expo hall featuring more than 90 partners. Each week also features live programming designed to connect, educate, and inspire, with themes covering:

• Week 1: Sun & Sand and the Americas
• Week 2: Exploring the Enchantments of Europe
• Week 3: Awe-Inspiring Experiences: Specialty, Africa & Asia
• Week 4: Conquering the World of Travel with ADX

Each Tuesday will feature live panels featuring different partners and members offering expert insights and industry discussions. Adding some fun to the schedule will be trivia quizzes on Wednesdays offering members a chance to win amazing prizes, while Thursday workshops led by the Ensemble team dive into partner programs, marketing tools, ADX – Ensemble’s proprietary all-in-one booking platform – and more.

Upcoming events

Uncharted marks just the beginning of Ensemble’s annual series of events that will also include Skyline regional events; a multi-city tour across nine locations in the U.S. and Canada; Beyond Extraordinary Experiences, a celebration of top performers with an exclusive event in Tuscany featuring Andrea Bocelli; Summit for Owners and Managers; and Horizons, Ensemble’s flagship event bringing together the entire network.

With Uncharted setting the tone for 2025, Ensemble continues to empower its members with the tools, connections, and knowledge needed to thrive in the ever-evolving travel industry.
