1000 Mile Travel Group heads to Nashville and Burleigh Heads for 2026 conferences

Independent advisors at 1000 Mile Travel Group (1000MTG) can start packing their cowboy boots—or their swimwear. The fast-growing global host agency has officially revealed the destinations for its 2026 annual conferences, and they’re as bold and vibrant as the network itself.

For the North American crew, the conference is headed to Nashville, Tennessee, from April 23–26, 2026. Meanwhile, 1000MTG’s Australian advisors will gather seaside at Burleigh Heads, Queensland, from February 26 to March 1, 2026. Both destinations were handpicked to reflect the personality and ambitions of their respective markets.

“Nashville reflects the energy and independence of our advisor community—it’s creative, high-impact, and full of soul,” says Christy Shafer, Senior VP and General Manager – North America. “We wanted a city that captures where our advisors are heading—confidently growing, building their businesses, and having fun along the way.”

Advisors heading to Nashville will be hosted at W Hotel Nashville, a sleek, design-forward property in the heart of the Gulch, known for its rooftop views, bold interiors, and a pulse that matches Music City’s unmistakable rhythm.

In Australia, the choice is equally impressive. The Mondrian Gold Coast, Burleigh Heads, which is set to open in mid-2025, bringing a fresh dose of luxury and lifestyle to the Gold Coast, and 1000MTG will be one of the first major travel events to confirm at the resort.

“Burleigh has always been special to our network—it’s stylish, grounded in nature, and full of creative energy,” says Lauren Gray, General Manager – Australia. “The Mondrian will elevate that experience in every way. We’re so excited to bring our community together in this incredible setting.”

The conference programs on both continents promise a mix of professional development, strategic supplier roundtables, inspirational keynotes, and, of course, signature 1000MTG-style celebrations.

At the core of it all, says CEO Nicola Veltman, is connection.

“We’re building a business where people come first—our advisors, our partners, our teams. These conferences are about coming together to learn, share, grow, and enjoy what we’ve built,” says Veltman. “We’re proud of how far we’ve come, but even more excited about what’s next—and that starts with Nashville and Burleigh.”

Full agendas and registration details will be released in the coming months, but one thing’s certain: whether you’re clinking glasses on a rooftop in Tennessee or catching a wave in Queensland, the 1000MTG 2026 conferences are set to inspire, connect, and celebrate the best in independent travel.
