Global Ball - hands down my favourite weekend on the travel industry’s calendar. 💜
A weekend spent celebrating the year that was with my incredible Purple family.
This year took us to Bangkok, where Friday night’s water festival somehow turned into a sweat festival, partner activations were next level (including a dance off with a Viking to win a cruise 🙌), my voice started disappearing before the conference had even begun & there were more laughs than I can count.
Saturday was all about learning, connecting and being inspired. We heard from our amazing partners, listened to a keynote speaker and got the exciting news that Global Ball 2027 is heading a little closer to home… Sydney! 🇦🇺
Then came the gala. A night to celebrate achievements, cheer each other on, dance until our feet hurt & laugh until our cheeks ached (sorry not sorry Justin IYKYK)
Feeling incredibly grateful to work alongside colleagues who have become genuine friends and for a company that knows how to celebrate hard work in the most unforgettable way.
Thank you, FCTG, for another incredible Global Ball.
💜 363 sleeps until Sydney…
