Welcome to Luxury Travel Advisor’s ULTRA Summit 2016, the most exclusive, and most productive event in the luxury travel space. We hear a lot about relationships and connections when referring to business events, but few are organized to naturally allow their development. ULTRA however is methodically fashioned to surround you with industry leaders who are passionate about their luxury-focused business by organizing connections through intellectually stimulating content, shared meals, lively discussions and informal networking. Combine that with a world-class venue to showcase your products & services and you receive an unparalleled ROI that justifies your time out of the office, and more importantly, your investment. See Yourself on a Panel! Pop-Up Panels are a fun and interactive way to engage in the conference, offering audience members the chance to participate on a panel and discuss industry critical issues. This is a great way to get to know industry colleagues and share your own insights to help further the growth of the luxury travel market. “ULTRA provides a great platform to collaborate and knowledge share with leaders from the Luxury Travel arena and create new ideas within this industry for now and into the future.” Tristan Dowell, Vice President Luxury & Consortia - Hyatt Corporation PARTNERSHIP A Focus on Connecting, Collaborating and Curating Luxury Travel Advisor's ULTRA Summit is an exclusive, invite-only event focused on the luxury travel market, that will bring together world-class travel agency owners and managers for one-to-one meetings with the most opulent, ultra-luxury suppliers in the world to cultivate collaboration, share insights and help move the luxury market forward.
