Free virtual event explores the tools, strategies, and systems travel pros need to streamline and grow their businesses

MINNEAPOLIS, MN — Host Agency Reviews (HAR), the leading online resource for travel advisors researching host agencies, consortia, and travel tools, is excited to announce the launch of HAR*Wired: Travel Tech Week, taking place October 14–17, 2025.

This free, fully-virtual event is designed specifically for travel advisors, agency owners, and those exploring a career in travel who want to work smarter—not just harder. Over four days, HAR*Wired will explore the tools, automations, and systems shaping the future of the travel industry—offering both big-picture insight and real-world application.

“Travel advisors are wearing a lot of hats—and while tech can lighten the load, it can also feel overwhelming,” said Steph Lee, Founder of Host Agency Reviews. “HAR*Wired is about making innovation approachable. We’re pulling back the curtain so advisors can understand what’s possible—and how to make it work for their business.”

Modeled after HAR’s popular Host Week, HAR*Wired features keynotes, bite-sized EduSpots, networking opportunities, and a full Demo Day. Each day is centered around a core theme to help advisors get clarity on what tools are available, which ones are worth their time, and how to actually use them in daily workflows.

HAR*Wired: Daily Themes & Highlights

Day 2: Mastering Tech for Your Business

Implementation is everything. Learn how to build your tech stack, use data to drive growth, protect client data, automate your marketing, and optimize your CRM.

Day 3: Tech & Human Connection in Travel

This industry is built on relationships. Day 3 focuses on how to use tech to support—not replace—human touch, from chatbots to social media to supplier communication.

Day 4: Demo Day

Advisors will get hands-on exposure to top travel tools. Condensed, 15–20 minute demos will showcase booking platforms, CRM systems, payment solutions, and more—with Q&A and side-by-side comparisons.

“As we head into 2026, advisors don’t just need new tech—they need clear, actionable guidance,” said Shayna Zand, Managing Director at HAR. “We built HAR*Wired to help them make informed decisions, reduce busywork, and spend more time doing what they love—serving their clients.”
