Connections Way

Connections Way The two flagship events enable members to network with the people they really want to get to know.

The travel and hospitality industry’s most immersive events platform, bringing together senior leaders together through the ‘Connections Way’ – turning networking into shared experiences that build trust and unlock long-term opportunity.

ible benefits and promising business leads. Connections offers global travel leaders the opportunity to participate in a calendar of events all run in the 'Connections Way', where networking opportunities are maximised. Using personalised wish lists and providing a series of fun, engaging and memorable experiences, delegates bond on a deeper level, building long lasting business relationships. As well as the flagship events, there are many other opportunities to network with Connections members. Through ConnecTalks, our educational sessions in the luxury, meetings & incentives, wellbeing, adventure and weddings sectors, delegates are exposed to inspirational speakers and engaging panel discussions leading to thought-provoking debate, crucial to developing the industry. Socials, peer-to-peer meetups, personal introductions and other highlights in the Connections annual programme ensure a plethora of opportunities for networking.

What does it take to win business from UK & Ireland luxury travel advisors in 2026?

Clients are spending more, but expectations are rising with them. And for advisors, that means being increasingly selective about the products, partners and experiences they put in front of their clients.

Our latest UK & Ireland Luxury Travel Advisor Pulse 2026 looks at what’s shaping the market, where demand is moving and what suppliers can do to become easier to sell.

Open House Festival is a London-wide festival that celebrates the city’s architecture, special sites and neighbourhoods, with open days and events taking place across all 33 London boroughs.

Every year, the city opens access to architecture and landscapes visitors are normally locked out of, so that Londoners can explore them for free. The 2026 festival will take place from 12-20 September and will be the 35th edition.

If you're joining us for Connections Luxury UK & Ireland this September, and want to explore the city before the event, check out what's available during the London Open House Festival here: https://programme.openhouse.org.uk/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=organic_social&utm_campaign=connections_luxury_uk_ireland_2026_nurture_general&utm_content=announcement_post_feed_find_out_more

For centuries, the shores of Istanbul’s Golden Horn were shaped by shipyards, trade and the movement of people between continents. 🌊

Today, part of that waterfront has entered a new chapter.

Rixos Tersane Istanbul, our headline partner for Connections Luxury Middle East 2026, sits within the historic Tersane district, where the former Ottoman shipyards have been transformed into a new waterfront destination.

The hotel looks out across the Golden Horn, bringing together traces of the area’s industrial past with a very different side of modern Istanbul. And this October, it will become home to our Middle East community.

📅 11–14 October 2026
📍 Istanbul, Türkiye

We’ll bring leading luxury travel buyers from the GCC, India and CIS to Istanbul to meet global luxury hotels, destinations and travel brands through three days of one-to-one meetings and experiences across the city.

A new destination for this edition, a new setting, and plenty to discover beyond the meeting room.
