Bound Round, the world's only digital travel guides created by and for kids, announced that CEO & Founder Janeece Keller has been selected as one of PhoCusWright's 35 Under 35 in the PhoCusWright Young Leaders Summit. The Young Leaders Summit recognizes rising stars in the travel industry and encourages executive development through experienced guest speakers, networking and an incubatory environment.

The summit showcases the important role young leaders play in the future growth of the travel, tourism and hospitality industry. The 35 people selected represent an elite group of ambitious professionals under the age of 35.

This year's summit will be held in Los Angeles, California from November 10th through 13th in conjunction with The PhoCusWright Conference – the top annual event for the travel industry.

“As a new business, carving a new segment in peer-to-peer reviews by tweens, I'm really excited that Bound Round has been recognized as innovative and valuable in international markets,” said Janeece Keller, Bound Round Founder & CEO.

“Research from Mastercard shows that 50% of families wish they could redo a family holiday because it's so difficult to plan and select activities that everyone will enjoy in advance”, she said. “I'm excited to be part of the Young Leaders Summit where I can learn from some of the biggest brands creating travel content and products for adults, and share with them what we know about tweens, their influence in family decisions and how they place more importance on peer recommendations than suggestions from their parents.”

The young professionals selected to participate in the summit are true achievers. PhoCusWright's committee looks for smart, dedicated young people that are excited about working in travel. The Young Leaders Summit provides the platform for these key travel industry professionals to network with and be part of a collaborative and diverse community of peers.

With more than ten years in business improvement & corporate marketing, a Masters in Journalism and two years of successful technology start-up experience under her belt, Janeece was selected for the Young Leaders Summit because of her experience as well as the opportunity that lies in developing the tween travel segment. Bound Round combines Janeece's three passions – travel, storytelling and making things happen.
