For KHM Travel Group’s independent travel agents, few experiences compare to the excitement of our annual Crystal Conference. Held each year in beautiful destinations, this event brings together our agents, supplier partners, and KHM Travel Group’s team for several unforgettable days of connection, learning, and celebration.
As we get ready to “Seas the Moment” at our 2026 conference on Norwegian Encore in February, here’s a look at what goes into making this event so special for our agents.
The Heart Behind Crystal
As soon as we conclude one Crystal event, the work begins planning the next. Months of preparation go into creating a seamless and memorable week together. From working with our host cruise line or resort to designing unique learning opportunities, every detail is chosen with the goal of creating a meaningful experience for all attendees.
Behind the scenes, nearly every team at KHM Travel Group plays an essential role before, during, and after the event. It’s that collaboration and teamwork that adds to the excitement of each event.
A Celebration of Excellence
The Crystal Conference is more than just a vacation. It’s a chance to stop and recognize all the achievements (large and small) from the past year. Our Crystal Awards are an annual awards ceremony that takes place during our Crystal Conference. KHM Travel Group is joined by our industry partners to honor our top-producing agents for their outstanding achievements. Supplier awards are based on each agent’s commissions earned in the previous year. We are also proud to recognize agents, team members, and supplier partners who excel in demonstrating KHM Travel Group’s Core Values and our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
During the event, attendees are treated to an elegant awards ceremony, where agents share stories of success and perseverance. It’s a powerful reminder that every booking and every traveler helps build a thriving industry.

The Power of Community
One of the most valuable parts of the Crystal Conference is the chance to connect with others face-to-face. Attendees love the anticipation as the event gets closer. Once there, ideas are exchanged, new friendships are formed, and inspiration flows freely. This sense of belonging and encouragement is what keeps many agents motivated throughout the year. It’s all about community over competition!
As each Crystal Conference concludes, agents leave reenergized and ready to take their businesses to the next level. The KHM Travel Group team returns home just as inspired, reminded of why we work so hard to support independent agents in growing their travel businesses.
