Summer travel brings meaningful opportunities to gather, explore, and reconnect, but today’s travelers are navigating a more complex world. From everyday disruptions such as lost phones, misplaced passports, medical needs, and transportation delays to more serious concerns including regional instability, crime, digital exposure, and emergency response abroad, thoughtful preparation can help families better understand potential travel risks and considerations.

Cresset is pleased to welcome Erick Turasz, Vice President of Strategic Partnerships at Global Guardian, for a timely conversation on travel security for adults, children, young adults, and multigenerational families. Global Guardian is a duty of care provider that partners with families and family offices to support travel through intelligence, medical planning, and on-the-ground resources.

Moderated by Kara Rosello, Cresset Security & Intelligence Advisor, this session will offer practical guidance for preparing before departure, understanding current travel risks, protecting devices and personal information, and considerations for children and young adults while traveling. The conversation will also include practical takeaways and planning considerations participants may wish to incorporate into their travel preparation.
