22-25 NOV 2026
We arrive in Uruguay, delivered in partnership with Intro The Concierge Company, for luxury travel agencies looking to discover South America’s best-kept secret.
This event brings together 30 leading Uruguayan luxury suppliers and 30 handpicked international travel agencies, through a programme of pre-scheduled meetings, hosted experiences and regional discovery.
Why Uruguay?
Look beyond the obvious.
Uruguay’s luxury is quietly confident, found in a private estancia stay, a long lunch beneath the vines, and a coastal retreat where the pace slows. All of it comes together on the country’s Atlantic coast, where Explore Uruguay with Connections takes place.
Punta del Este is the polished heart of the coast, where the river meets the ocean. Its marina, beaches, fine dining and design-led hotels have made it a favourite for discerning travellers. A short drive along the coast, bohemian José Ignacio is a quiet fishing village turned barefoot-luxury hideaway, known for its lighthouse, open-fire kitchens and understated private villas.
Together they offer clients experiences that feel personal and unhurried.

How Connections works
Focused meetings
Carefully matched one-to-one appointments create time for relevant, purposeful business conversations.
Shared experiences
Experiences give buyers and suppliers a more natural way to connect, away from the formal meeting table.
For buyers
Join a carefully selected group of senior luxury travel professionals with active business and genuine purchasing influence. Buyer participation is subject to qualification and event fit.
Relationships that continue
Connections is designed around quality rather than volume, helping delegates build relationships that last beyond the event.
For suppliers
Meet relevant senior buyers through a structured programme that combines focused appointments with the time and setting needed to build stronger commercial relationships.
