Level Up Your Travel Game

With the phenomenon of “revenge travel” just around the corner in 2022, it’s never been more important to maximize your travel rewards and learn how to travel the world on points. 

This year, we’re bringing our in-person Signature Event series to Montreal in partnership with HSBC Bank Canada, featuring four exciting speaking sessions and a luxurious limited-attendance VIP Evening Social.

Join myself and the Prince of Travel team on Saturday, April 2, 2022 at the W Hotel Montreal to celebrate our shared pursuit of elevated travel as we look ahead to its full recovery.
