The Formosa Studio Edition
From 8-11 November 2026, Connections Luxury Americas West returns to West Hollywood.
Hosted at The Lot at Formosa, this year's Studio Edition takes inspiration from one of Hollywood's most iconic creative settings. Over three days, carefully selected luxury travel buyers and suppliers come together through curated one-to-one meetings, shared experiences and the conversations that build lasting business relationships.
The programme extends across West Hollywood, from the studio lot to some of the destination's leading hotels and venues, combining the creativity of Hollywood with the commercial focus of the Connections Way.
With the Americas remaining one of luxury travel's most influential source markets, Connections Luxury Americas West is where international brands come to strengthen existing relationships, discover new opportunities and build business across the region.
