Meet Skip: Executive VP of Sales for EF Educational Tours. In 2022 Skip celebrated his 30 years at EF and was honored with his legacy tile outside our EF Zurich office! When asked about what's kept him passionate for so long he said, "The day I'm not growing and learning is when I'll need to do something else, so it looks like I'll do this for a while longer." Photos of Skip on his first EF tour (during his first week of work!) in 1992 and again 23 years later in the same spot. Read about his time at EF, and why he's stayed for so long. https://lnkd.in/gZTVNWEw

Congratulations to EF Ultimate Break for winning WYSE Travel Confederation's award for Best Marketing Campaign ✨ The brief? Get college students to care that they could earn bucket list travel for free as a Campus Ambassador. The solution? A bucket. Yes, like a Home Depot bucket. Scrappy, organic, hilarious, and just wild enough to hold their attention. The team bought a bucket, painted it in the EF Ultimate Break brand color with a QR code on the back, strapped it to their Social Producer, and off she went to the college campuses of Boston. ↘️ Watch the TikTok: https://lnkd.in/ebXe75Eq ↘️ Check out the award: https://lnkd.in/dgjB_UQX Shoutout to the team: Emma Topp - Social Producer Arielle Mulgrew - Head of Social Media Kateri Gemperlein-Schirm - Designer Brady Griffin - Videographer Sarah Heingartner - Associate Creative Director Tom Corbett - Associate Creative Director Kendall Taylor (Moon) - Senior Project Manager Michelle McNeice - VP, Marketing #WeAreEF #EFEducationFirst

Many thanks to Søren Sattrup from the KILROY Group for a lively conversation with my co-opetitors from the multi-day tour industry as we discussed trends facing our industry at WYSTC (The World Youth and Student Travel Conference) in Lisbon. Thank you to the WYSE Travel Confederation for inviting me to represent EF Ultimate Break on stage to share details about factors impacting our sector of young adult tourism. Enabling more young adults (ages 18-35) to travel the world remains our collective goal as we all work to modernize our technology, support affordability challenges given the increased cost of living (especially for many young travelers still paying off their student loans) and living in a time of climate change where sustainability practices are a huge part of the GenZ and Younger Millennial decision-making process when booking a trip overseas. I’m proud of the work EF World Journeys and EF Ultimate Break are doing to make international travel more accessible, sustainable and easier than ever to book online so more North Americans can explore the world outside their borders. If you are a destination, accommodations provider, airline or tourism partner who wants to join us in this effort, please let me know and we will work together to live up to EF’s mission to open the world through education (and deliver on the enlightenment that comes from traveling the world). #WeAreEF #internationaltravel #youthtravel #education #culture

Thank you Amazon Web Services (AWS) for inviting me to speak at the Zurich Exec Summit about dealing with change in an AI era. Especially for Education, there is so much opportunity for access to great learning experiences with AI - but we have to keep in mind that learners want outcomes, not gimmicks! We're staying focused on enhancing our curriculum and teachers with tech and AI to create more joy for our customers that comes with mastering a new language.
