Millennials in Travel
Nashville Launch Party
upannaway founder Anna Gilbert, recently helped lead the launch of the Nashville chapter of Millennials in Travel! As Officer of Development, Anna and her fellow Nashville officers sought to bring together tour operators, tourism boards, hotels, cruise lines, airlines, transportation companies, travel journalists, marketing representation companies, consortias, and agencies together for connection with fellow travel industry professionals. The launch party on the rooftop of the 1 Hotel was a huge success, and several members of the upannaway team were in attendence.
Team upannaway: Katherine, Natalie, Anna, Anderson, and Courtny.
We were incredibly proud of Anna and the MIT team for highlighting how Millennials are the future of travel: “The millennial generation communicates differently, markets differently, and more importantly conducts business in a different way. We have the understanding and ability to drive tourism in today's market. The world is a different place than it was 25 years ago, and millennials creating relationships now will only strengthen the future of the industry!”
“Anna continues to not only be a leader in this industry, but an intentional connector as well. We are so grateful to have her at the forefront of the upannaway team with her supportive guidance, empathetic heart, and generous nature. She constantly goes the extra mile for her team and her clients, wanting the best for everyone!” - Katherine Gallagher, upannaway Travel Designer + Operations Manager
Lush Experiences also generously donated prizes from some of the hotels in their collection, including:
