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.

A look back at 2026
“This was my first Connections Luxury event, and I’m very glad I chose to attend. The event was exceptionally well organized, and the Connections team was outstanding—engaged, visible, and consistently attentive. I cannot recall another event where staff so proactively ensured everything ran smoothly, addressed attendees by name, and immediately stepped in to assist at the slightest sign of hesitation.
I would also be remiss not to commend the team on their selection of buyers. Every meeting was 10 out of 10.”
- Joe Docal, Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau
