Connections Luxury Middle East 2026 | Istanbul
Our first Istanbul edition brought Connections Luxury Middle East to the Golden Horn, a place that has long connected people, markets and cultures.
Over three days, that history of exchange found a new expression through our luxury travel community.
110 professionals from 27 nationalities came together for 1,417 one-to-one meetings and 13 shared experiences, with conversations crossing markets, ideas and new opportunities.
A new city for Connections Luxury Middle East, and an edition with its own story.
And there's more to come. We'll be back in 2027.
📍 Istanbul, Türkiye
🗓️ 3-6 October 2027
