If the Americas are key to your growth, this is the event that gets you in front of the region’s most powerful luxury travel buyers.

Our programme will be hosted across some of New York City’s most iconic venues and luxury properties. More details coming soon.

A look back at 2025

The buyers I met with were a combination of new contacts AND contacts with pending bookings. I really enjoyed getting to know the new buyers, sharing my resort with them, and understanding how we can best partner. For the clients with existing and/or pending bookings, the facetime was invaluable and allowed for me to continuing to build our relationships.
