Join the Global Protocol Academy retreats—virtual and in-person gatherings designed to foster deep connections, share insights, and enhance professional growth.

Our retreats empower participants to learn, grow, and inspire change across industries by featuring special guest speakers, interactive sessions, and networking opportunities.

Staying Connected:
Elevate Your Professional Network

Global Protocol Academy’s retreats and forums go beyond traditional gatherings—they are transformative experiences where connections transcend borders, and shared knowledge leads to growth.

Designed to create meaningful bonds among colleagues, these retreats feature international guest speakers, provide a platform to exchange insights, and support companion organizations. Whether held virtually or in person, each retreat offers unique opportunities to learn, grow, and make a lasting impact.

The Power of Sharing

One of our most memorable retreats occurred at the prestigious Four Seasons in Washington, D.C., where we had the privilege of dining with Letitia Baldrige, a renowned etiquette advisor and Jacqueline Kennedy’s White House chief of staff.

Letitia’s legacy of elegance and professionalism continues to inspire, and her final book endorsement graces the back of The Art of Professional Connections: Dining Strategies for Building and Sustaining Relationships. Her influence reminds us of the value of grace and professionalism in every interaction, and her legacy lives on through the invaluable lessons she shared with us.
