    Build Enduring Relationships

    Hospitality is an industry based on relationships, darlings, and we like to think that we are in the “people” business!

    Our industry events have remained a trusted favorite of both event specialists and luxury destination partners for almost 20 years!

    Why? Because we create an informal, relaxed atmosphere that allows you to meet and share information and build enduring relationships in a “no pressure” environment of authenticity and fun!

    Your Success is Our Mission!

    We get it!   Time is precious.

    When you choose to participate in an industry event, you want it to be productive, providing a return on the investment of your time and resources.

    Our curated collection of distinctive hotels, resorts, cruise lines, DMCs and other industry partners, coming together with qualified buyers and event executives, offers an efficient, face-to-face solution to the “connection” challenges that both buyers and sellers experience in our increasingly digital age.
