The Association of Canadian Travel Agencies and Travel Advisors (ACTA) has announced the opening of registration for the 2026 ACTA Travel Industry Summits in Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal.

Bringing together professional travel advisors, agency entrepreneurs, thought leaders, new and popular destinations along with industry partners from across the travel sector in Canada, the ACTA Travel Industry Summits are an opportunity for learning and making connections.

This year’s theme — Bold Leadership. Smart Innovation. Extraordinary Destinations – reflects the evolving travel landscape as advisors explore what it means to lead boldly, embrace innovation, and stay grounded in the human connections that define travel. From emerging technologies transforming the way advisors work to discovering hidden gem destinations in Canada and around the world, the Summits will highlight opportunities shaping the future of travel.

Through engaging keynotes, practical business insights, breakfast boardrooms and a dynamic tradeshow featuring more than 100 travel supplier partners, ACTA wants attendees to leave energized, informed, and equipped for what’s next.

ACTA President Suzanne Acton-Gervais.

“The ACTA Travel Industry Summits are about bringing our travel advisor community together at a time when connection, collaboration, and innovation have never been more important,” said ACTA President Suzanne Acton-Gervais. 

“As the travel landscape continues to evolve, these events will inspire advisors to think boldly, embrace new opportunities, and strengthen the relationships that move our industry forward.”
