Connections Way

Connections Way Connections is the international private community for senior decision-makers in high-end travel

Business leaders today have to contend with intense schedules, constantly managing an influx of invitations to meetings and trade events, that rarely deliver tangible 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. The two flagship e

vents enable members to network with the people they really want to get to know. 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.

A New Era

Since our launch in 2014, we’ve hosted 30 incredible events all over the world in the luxury, wellbeing, adventure, high-end meetings & incentives – and to mark our fifth birthday – the weddings sector.

Over the past five years, we have pioneered The Connections Way - a proven series of research-based proprietary methodologies and approaches designed to create long lasting business relationships between our delegates.

But Connections was created to be more than just a place of meetings. We’ve become known and valued for our human approach to networking, becoming a versatile network that adapts to the lifestyle of our mobile decision makers. Our delegates can discover new business opportunities and establish new partnerships with the right people, all around the world; there is no limit to where and how our leaders meet to conduct business.

Building upon the success and feedback of the past five years, we want to elevate the Connections product by transforming it into a private platform, shaped and owned by the people powering our industry.
