Come & Experience the Shining Stars of the Mexican Riviera!

Our next Destination University offers you a “deep dive” into the emerging destination of Tulum and shines the spotlight on the glittering new resort in the area, The Conrad Tulum. Long known and respected for the important Mayan sites nearby and beloved for its crystalline clear seas, Tulum is emerging as one of the most popular and fastest growing destinations in the Yucatan peninsula.

The Conrad Tulum by the ocean featuring an outdoor pool lined with white umbrellas, palm trees, and lounge chairs, with buildings and turquoise water in the background.

As a bonus, we have been invited to stay one more night at the stunning Waldorf Astoria Riviera Maya, for a three night experience with all accommodations, meals and activities covered for our planners, thanks to the generosity of our event sponsors and hosts.

Spacious Waldorf Astoria Riviera Maya lobby with modern furnishings, blue patterned carpet, multiple seating areas, marble tables, and a decorative ceiling light fixture.

As if all of this were not inspiring enough, be prepared to meet WineToWater founder and CNN “Hero,” Doc Hendley and help us provide long-term safe water relief to the citizens of Jamaica.

WineToWater Founder Doc Hendley and Retreats Resources Founder & President Carol Owen stand smiling together in front of a large projected image and a blue banner at an indoor event.

If you are a planner of luxury level MICE events , it is not too late to apply. We are on a waitlist basis at the moment but please contact Rachel Johnson and she will be happy to guide you thru the application process.


If you are a destination partner, we would love to talk to you about participating! We have over 20 highly qualified clients attending and we would love to showcase your resort. Participation in our room block at our host hotel and the donation of a vacation package to our fundraising auction is required.

If you would like to consider joining us, please contact Carol Owen or Cindy O’Gorman.

Four women stand together outdoors, smiling at the camera. They wear colorful dresses and carry small purses, with greenery and a stone wall in the background.
Hope to see you there!
