“STAY WYSE is the perfect way to kick off the year ahead, spend time with your existing clients, meet new ones and reconnect with industry colleagues. Always a great conference, you can catch up on the latest industry news and talk to vendors who can help your business. Can’t wait!.”
“STAY WYSE is the go to event for youth group travel. There is always an amazing group of buyers and the booking system is very easy to use. The best 48 hours you can invest in growing your clients.”
“The perfect place in Europe to meet hostel providers. Join STAY WYSE Amsterdam if you want to have an overall view of the hostelling world, but also be ready for partying, enjoying and meeting really interesting people.”
“STAY WYSE is a major European event about youth and educational travel; with quality sessions and business meetings. It was a great event for us.”
“STAY WYSE is the most valuable independent hostel industry conference at the moment in the world, which combines business and fun.”
“The business meetings are a fantastic way to connect with new and potential clients and partners. Much like speed dating you can get a very good idea of first impressions in such a short time. The two days are packed and you can really get to sift through what is most relevant and pertaining to your business.”
“STAY WYSE truly exceeded my expectations. It was so well organized and was a great opportunity to meet with industry leaders from all around the world.”
“Attending STAY WYSE provided a platform to connect on a personal level with key suppliers from all over the world. Being based in New Zealand, we are so far removed from major European and American suppliers and the generous Buyer Programme made these connections possible. I would definitely recommend attending STAY WYSE.”
“I’d like to thank WYSE Travel Confederation for such a great event held in Amsterdam. It is a non-stop show from Wed evening till Fri afternoon that if you manage to get through alive, you’ll return home with business under your arms. It is a “must attend” event in Bracap Global Tours trade shows calendar.”
“STAY WYSE is one of a few can’t-miss events on my calendar each year. It provides an ideal opportunity to meet new contacts and re-connect with the old–all within a lively, well-run program.”
“GREAT first event in this region [the Americas], so it bodes very well for future events. Thank you. “
“The STAY WYSE conference is the perfect place for us to meet key players of the youth travel industry and those interested in youth hostels in particular. The scale of the event is such that you have time to meet everyone in formal and social occasions. We never miss it and have been growing our presence there; in fact it is one of the few events we continue to attend.”
“STAY WYSE is the most efficient and “to the point” trade show for those who are into school/ group travel. You can’t go wrong.”
“STAY WYSE offers the opportunity to see a lot of business partners in a formal and informal setting, while at the same time keeping up to date with new exciting developments.”
“One of the best travel events to meet specific travel industry vendors and suppliers. A very well organized event, easy to schedule and monitor appointments. All the arrangements were fabulous from the initial coordination, networking party, meetings, fam trips, education sessions, etc.”
“Great event where all the major players are present. This is a must for any youth accommodation provider to connect with top business partners.”
“I liked the mix this year between sessions and meetings across both days – worked well in terms of keeping concentration levels and stamina going!”
“The event has helped me to realize several projects in my agency that I had paused due to the lack of security of possible suppliers caused by not having direct contact.”
“This was the second STAY WYSE Amsterdam event that we attended with Cornwall Plus and it proved to be as beneficial as the first, reinforcing established business relationships with lots of opportunities for developing new ones. As always the social programme was so much fun with an abundance of food, dancing and laughter.”
“The venue was outstanding and the food and beverage would also score a 10, and that never happens at events like this – it’s usually more like a 4 – or maybe a 6 at a nice hotel. We’ll be back.”
“This was our first time attending STAY WYSE as a company and we were blown away by the conference. From start to finish the organisation was top-notch. The appointment tool made it incredibly easy to get meetings in place with a plethora of potential new suppliers in advance of the conference and once we arrived everything ran like clockwork. It wasn’t just the opportunity to meet new suppliers which was useful, the FAM trip allowed us to see a good range of potential visits in Amsterdam, and the location of the conference was a good base to explore the city on foot. All-in-all, it’s highly recommended!”
“It was my first time at STAY WYSE and didn’t know what to expect, but I was delighted with everything. It was a great conference and definitely the best I attended in the last year. I will definitely come again.”
“When it comes to selling accommodation for millennials and Gen-Zers, STAY WYSE is THE event to attend. The great thing is that the attendees are looking for the product you are offering and you don’t need to spend time explaining what shared accommodation or the concept of a hostel is: we all speak the same language!“
“STAY WYSE Amsterdam was so far the best business conference I ever participated in (10+). The quality and the organization was so great that I would honestly recommend it to all partners in the business. We brought ca. 10 direct leads back home which is an amazing success.”
“It was great to meet suppliers and other partners again after so many years. Thanks to the team for a professional, fun and interesting event and thanks again to all the sponsors!”
“I had a great experience at STAY WYSE Miami; very well organized, great sellers, very well-located hotels and well focused attendees. I was very happy to participate; I’m sure the new business options for 2020 will be much better after a new portfolio with STAY WYSE.”
“We attended the STAY WYSE conference for the first time this year and have had an amazing experience. This has been the most relevant conference I have attended with the ability to ensure that I was able to target and meet with the correct buyers for my product. Not a moment wasted!!!”
“Incredibly smooth organisation, but really a fantastic balance and mix of business meetings / social events / educational talks. The business appointments are a really great system.”
“The event was incredibly well organized and ensured the best use of time and materials. It provided the very best opportunity for student and youth travel organizations to meet and trade with hostel and hotel (accommodations) providers. One of the best, if not the best, event in the travel industry.”
“I really loved my first WYSE event experience. The conference is incredibly well organized. The educational sessions were excellent.”
“Always a fantastic opportunity, to make new friends, to reconnect with old friends and to keep relevant by knowing what is happening in our industry.”
“I found the Stay WYSE conference excellent. It was great to meet some of my existing contacts in a social setting as well as a more formal setting during the meetings. It is also a great conference for meeting potential accommodation buyers and making new contacts.”
