Youth & Student Travel Summit

This was my first BETA Youth Travel Summit, and the level of new contacts we’ve gained definitely means I’ll be attending again

The Summit provides a great opportunity to network and expand my contacts, leading to better client opportunities down the road.

The summit was an excellent platform for establishing meaningful professional connections. I have already begun negotiations with several participants and have successfully signed one partnership agreement. I am confident that many more collaborations will follow soon. This event has truly created valuable opportunities for long-term cooperation.

This was my first time attending the Summit, and it truly exceeded my expectations. The 1:1 meetings with suppliers were highly effective, and I was able to build meaningful relationships with the suppliers we needed most. The experience was both efficient and rewarding. I will definitely return in the future and look forward to meeting even more new suppliers.

Attending the Summit was an inspiring and energising experience. The event created a space for meaningful dialogue, collaboration, and reflection – and I left feeling informed, motivated, and engaged about what’s ahead.  Huge thanks to the organisers for curating such a thoughtful and empowering event.

A very well put together event. Great speakers and opportunities for business development and partnership building.

The BETA team have once again pulled off a great B2B event with great opportunities for new business in the education sector.

Great to be in the room. New names and faces giving an opportunity to form new working partnerships.

This was my first time attending the Summit. This was perfect for what we needed. A great mix of all different types of businesses. Will be attending again.

Highly recommended, very productive, great networking, the vast majority of face-to-face meetings were with new buyers. A must in the travel trade calendar.

This is a great event to meet existing business partners and meet new ones. The opportunity to get to know new businesses and the change in summit location allow us to meet other colleagues from around the UK. A must for anyone in the business of educational travel!

BETA is the only source of new and repeat clients we trust in the educational travel sector. They’re fully embedded in the industry, highly knowledgeable and most importantly, excellent to work with.

First BETA event and thoroughly enjoyed meeting new connections and insightful seminars.

As host city, the opportunity to showcase the destination to an excellent group of buyers was really good. We have had great feedback already, with many saying they will now consider Bristol (and Bath!) on their programmes.

We are delighted to have taken part in the Youth & Student Travel Summit and become members of BETA. We are already seeing great benefits from this membership. The networking opportunities and industry updates have been great. I would highly recommend it to anyone in the youth travel sector. Thank you all at BETA for all your hard work!

Through BETA’s extensive resources and network of trusted partners, we have created unforgettable study abroad programs that align with our curriculum and foster a sense of curiosity and global citizenship in our students. The focus on safety, sustainability, and educational value ensures that every journey is not just a trip but a meaningful experience that enhances classroom learning.

A brilliant opportunity to raise visibility and connect with new and existing partners!

The BETA Summit is an event the Historic Dockyard always enjoys attending. We have the chance to get updates on youth and student travel and meet potential clients.

What a day! It was an event full of useful information and best practices with like-minded study travel industry leaders. It was great to finally meet other BETA members in the flesh and discuss how we can partner in the future to provide amazing life-changing experiences for students!

We were able to connect with great people and form a business relationship with them. This event does not only create new B2B-Bonds though, it also gives you the opportunity to understand and explore the host cities and regions.

It was my first BETA Summit and what an incredible experience! I met some great people, future collaborators, and was able to visit a number of sites and accommodations that will help me sell my programs more effectively. Can’t wait to come back!

The Youth & Student Travel Summit is, without doubt, a good opportunity for agents to find partners to help differentiate their options in their portfolio.

Thank you BETA for allowing us to learn more about the UK as a study destination. It was very interesting to learn about the venues that we can visit with our students to create learning and life-changing experiences. See you in 2025! 

Great networking opportunities with key decision-makers. The day was very productive and fun with a great balance of interesting seminars and appointments. Thanks BETA!

The quality of the buyers and suppliers in attendance was fantastic. I rarely go to an event where the vast majority of meetings are likely to turn into business.

The Summit was a great opportunity to listen to future trends in the industry, meet new people and catch up with partners & clients.
