 Experiences & Trainings

Our transformative experiences are designed and guided by the TTC team, design program alumni, and other special guests, often recognized as a shining star example of transformative experience design and execution. They are meant to be a place for us to come together in the spirit of personal and professional development and to observe other practitioners in their element, giving us a unique and powerful space to reflect, share, learn, and transcend.

Our events are merely opportunities for us to connect as a community, whether that be a reception in a small village or a city, a gathering at a tourism conference, or other special place to see and celebrate each other and the collective movement we’re cooperatively leading.
