We’re thrilled to share the latest from our Platinum Partner Storable | Newbook and their Emerging Leaders Scholarship innovative.

Time is of the essence, apply HERE by April 25th.


The glamping and outdoor hospitality industry has always been built on people.

The people who welcome guests.
The people who solve problems.
The people who show up every day and genuinely care about the experience they create.

But one of the biggest challenges our industry faces today is not a lack of talent, it’s access to opportunity.

Across our sector, there are individuals who are ready to grow, ready to lead, and ready to help shape what comes next. Yet many of them never get the chance to attend conferences, connect with peers, or step into environments that expand their perspective and accelerate their growth.

That’s what sparked the idea behind the Newbook Emerging Leaders Scholarship.

Opening Doors for the Next Generation of Leaders

Created by AGA Platinum Partner Storable | Newbook, this scholarship is built around one simple but powerful goal: To create access.

Access to:

  • Industry events and education

  • Meaningful connections

  • New ideas and perspectives

  • Opportunities that can shape a career

This is more than just attending a conference. It’s about what happens after—when someone returns to their business with new confidence, new relationships, and a renewed sense of possibility.

Who This Is For

This scholarship isn’t about titles, seniority, or years of experience.

It’s for the people who are often overlooked, but deeply invested in the future of this industry:

  • The team member who has never had the opportunity to attend a conference

  • The emerging leader ready to take the next step

  • The operator who wants to improve and grow

  • The individual who genuinely cares about where this industry is heading

If someone is showing up, putting in the work, and ready to learn, this is for them!

Why This Matters

When we invest in people, the impact goes far beyond one individual.

It strengthens teams.
It elevates businesses.
It moves the entire industry forward.

The Newbook Emerging Leaders Scholarship is a step toward creating a more connected, supported, and forward-thinking glamping community. One where opportunity is more accessible, and leadership is continuously nurtured.
