We Define Our Events as Follows:

Roadshows

3 or 4 showcase events in a week, generally including a luxury motor coach to get you from city to city between events. Some exceptions, based on regional considerations and availability of coaches, may apply. We permit single-city pricing on a space available basis, and a ‘shared table’ program for hotels and resorts in the same hotel family and/or resorts, DMCs and DMOs from the same destination – please ask!

Blitz

2, 3, or 4 showcase events in a week that are usually too far apart to drive. We typically fly between the event cities.

One Night Stand

Our newest event experience! Held at a single hotel or resort, a small group of planners and destination partners will come together on the first evening for an engaging activation and dinner, followed the next morning by breakfast and a luxury showcase.

Destination University

A multi-day hosted buyer experience in a beautiful location, including a showcase and multiple experiences and meals in which to network with an elite group of event and incentive planners. Does not include transportation / airfare to host destination, or accommodations (host hotel offers group rate), or F&B apart from event.

Connoisseurs Connections Conference

Our 3-day invitation-only events. Conference participation entitles you to secure a commitment for one ( or more!) qualified event professionals of your choosing. Does not include airfare, supplier hotel room (host hotel offers group rate), or F&B apart from event. $6,000
