TravelManagers has revealed the opening keynote speaker for their August 2026 conference in Hobart.
Keynote speaker, author and business mentor Lisa O’Neill will open the three-day conference with an address that is “vibrant, inspirational and transformative”.
An established presenter, O’Neill has worked with organisations like Ray White and L’Oreal and authored seven books on energy, action, discernment, self-love, happiness and chaos.
She has over 20 years of experience as a business mentor and spent three years as CEO of Thought Leaders business school. The self-described maximalist also worked as fashion editor at NZ Woman’s Weekly.
Now, O’Neill is focused on inspiring organisations to break free from old patterns and take action as an energetic and impactful keynote speaker.
Executive general manager Michael Gazal describes O’Neill as “a fantastic fit for our network, our conference, and its theme of ‘connection'”.
“She’s just the person we were looking for to set the tone for the exciting event that we’re creating,” he said.
The TravelManagers August 2026 conference is expected to bring together around five hundred personal travel managers, partner suppliers, media partners and national partnership office team members.
The event will take place in Hobart from 18 to 20 August, offering plenary sessions, workshops and a trade show alongside networking and team building events.
