Travel + Leisure World’s Best Summit

The second annual Travel + Leisure World’s Best Summit—a dynamic, two-day gathering of industry leaders and cultural tastemakers shaping the future of travel, bringing the bold T+L editorial vision to life.

Our team led production and experiential design, transforming communal spaces into meaningful moments rooted in place and purpose. A Visit Seattle-branded café featured native Washington greenery and local purveyors, while day two saw the same space refreshed with a moss-forward Travel + Leisure Co. installation—an evolving environment that mirrored the summit’s narrative arc.

Programming curated by T+L Editor-in-Chief Jacqui Gifford, the event featured a lineup of thought-provoking panels and keynotes exploring how technology, wellness, design, and storytelling continue to transform the travel landscape. Standout speakers included Tracee Ellis Ross, and Selma Blair. 

The summit not only charted emerging industry currents, but also set the tone for how summit-style gatherings can meaningfully influence the future of travel.
