Event Overview
GBTA | All Florida invites you to a dynamic two‑day education and networking experience hosted at the one‑and‑only SeaWorld Orlando. Designed for travel buyers, suppliers, and industry partners, this regional event brings together business travel professionals from across the state to explore the trends, challenges, and innovations shaping the future of corporate travel.
The education program will cover all things business travel— from airline and ground transportation strategy to hotels, sustainability, technology, policy, and the evolving traveler experience. Attendees will gain practical insights from industry leaders, participate in meaningful peer‑to‑peer conversations, and leave with ideas they can immediately apply within their organizations.
What truly sets this event apart is the opportunity to network in a relaxed and memorable setting. An opening reception and dedicated networking moments are complemented by two hours of exclusive park time, giving attendees the chance to connect in ways that go far beyond the ballroom.
Whether you prefer to scream your lungs out on a roller coaster, mingle with penguins, or simply enjoy informal conversations in a truly unique environment, this event makes relationship‑building natural, engaging, and—dare we say—fun.
