Transat Distribution Canada reveals details of National Leadership Conference

Transat Distribution Canada (TDC) has shared details of its upcoming National Leadership Conference (NLC).

For the first time ever, the event will be held in Europe, on Spain’s Costa del Sol. The stunning Club Med Magna Marbella will host TDC’s franchised and affiliated agency owners and managers, the management team from Voyages Transat/Transat Travel, TDC’s leadership team, and many of its valued preferred partners for an immersive week of strategic planning.

“We have truly broken the mold for this latest edition of our National Leadership Conference,” said Karine Gagnon, general manager of TDC. “We’ve completely redesigned the format, extending beyond the in-person event from March 22 to 28. We are equipping our members ahead of time, encouraging them to reflect on their business goals in advance. This ensures that once in Spain, they take purposeful actions and engage with the right people. And this journey won’t stop at the end of the week—it will continue after we return to Canada, with a series of post-event follow-ups to help members apply their learnings to real-world scenarios.”

Guest speaker and coach

To guide participants through this transformational process, TDC has partnered with renowned speaker, author, and executive coach Cloé Caron.

“We are thrilled to offer our agency owners and managers the opportunity to benefit from her expertise. At some point during the five-day event, each participant will have the chance to book a one-on-one session with Cloé to receive personalized advice on achieving their specific business goals,” adds Gagnon. This coaching support also extends to the TDC Playbook, “a practical tool developed in collaboration with Cloé Caron to help participants structure their reflections and takeaways.”

New meeting formats

This year’s conference introduces partner business reviews, which are one-on-one meetings with preferred partners to assess business relationships and explore new opportunities, as well as  exclusive one-on-one sessions—individual meetings with TDC’s leadership team, offering direct access to leadership. A new mobile app will also be unveiled.

TDC Talks

The National Leadership Conference will feature insights from 10 expert speakers, including TED-style talks—short, impactful, and highly practical sessions. “Our seven TDC Talks are designed to address the real challenges our agency owners and managers face today,” said Dianne Jackson, director of franchised and affiliated Members. “Our owners are incredibly busy, so we’ve made sure that these talks get straight to the point and provide concrete action steps.”

Some of the workshop topics include: AI for Marketing Efficiency, Maximizing Social Media for Business Growth, Leading Effective One-on-One Meetings and How to build stronger connections and boost performance.
