More Than a Getaway
This is not a sit-in-a-ballroom conference, and it is not a typical FAM trip. It is a working retreat for advisors at every level. Mornings and evenings are for hands-on training that grows your business. Afternoons are for getting out into Tulum, site inspections of standout properties, a cenote, the beach, and the kind of firsthand experiences that make you a better advisor.
You stay on-site at a private luxury villa, so the learning never really stops. The conversations over dinner are often worth as much as the sessions themselves.
What You'll Learn
Built for advisors at every level, new, growing, or established. Beginner and more advanced sessions, some running side by side, led by working professionals.
The Agent Masterclass
A wide-ranging masterclass on building a thriving travel business, whether you're just starting out or scaling up. We'll cover the tools, systems, and strategies that move the needle, from marketing and client management to groups, events, and building community, and shape the exact topics around what attendees most want to learn. Led by Cindi Sanden.
Content, Creators & New Income
Reels and short-form video, user-generated content, and affiliate marketing. How to build additional income streams as an advisor through content creation and influencer marketing. Led by Krystal Shipley of Primal Summits.
Villas, Buyouts & Private Properties
A behind-the-scenes session on working with private villa and buyout properties: weddings, group buyouts, and how advisors can book and earn on spaces like the one you'll be staying in. Hosted by the property team.
Topics on the Table
The masterclass is built around what matters most to you. Here's some of what we can dig into, and we'll prioritize based on what the group tells us it wants.
Your application asks what you most want to learn, your answers help shape the final curriculum.
The Rhythm of a Day
The schedule is intentionally relaxed: learn when minds are fresh, get out and explore in the heat of the day, then come back together in the evening. Final schedule shared with confirmed guests.
Mornings | Learn
Breakfast together, then a focused training session while everyone's fresh, the masterclass, content and creator strategies, and guest sessions.
Afternoons | Explore
Get out into Tulum: site inspections of standout hotels and properties, a beach day, a cenote experience, and firsthand looks you can sell from. One afternoon may hold a session too.
Evenings | Connect
More learning when it counts, plus dinner together at the villa, where the best conversations and connections tend to happen.
What's Included
Early-bird pricing is $2,799 for a shared room or $3,299 for a private room through March 31, 2027 - after that, standard pricing applies. Here's what your seat includes.
Not included: airfare, alcohol, and personal expenses. A training-only option for local advisors who don't need lodging may also be offered. Just tell us on your application.
Will It Pay for Itself?
For most advisors, one booking does it. One villa buyout, one wedding group, or one set of clients who book because you came back sharper, and that covers the trip several times over. Because this is a working business retreat, it's a tax-deductible expense.
You're not buying a vacation. You're investing in the skills, systems, and supplier relationships that book trips all year.
