Conventions for Program Leaders of International Tours

Convention destinations are pending and may change based on availability, government regulations, or travel advisories.

Conventions may be selected with "pending points." To check your points balance, visit your MyTrip account.

WorldStrides welcomes you to bring an adult companion with you on convention if you qualify with points, or you can pay a companion fare of $2,200 for the standard convention destinations. 

Companion fares are not available for Premier convention destinations. 

At some of our Teacher Conventions, our team will host an optional interactive session for professional development. By participating in the tour and optional session, you will earn a certificate for 10-15 points/hours or 1-1.5 CEUs.

Convention reservations are first come, first served, are pending availability, and may close prior to the deadline listed. Qualification is based on Reward Points. Conventions departing after October 1, 2024 require an active 2025 or future tour. Conventions departing after October 1, 2025 require an active 2026 or future tour. Once redeemed, Rewards Points may not be used for other promotional rewards.
