Luxperience 2017 kicks off

Luxperience 2017 kicks off

Last night Luxperience 2017 welcomed over 350 leading lights of the global travel industry at its sixth annual Thought Leaders Forum and Welcome Cocktail Party, held at the Hilton Hotel, Sydney.

This year’s Luxperience event theme will focus on transformation whether on a personal or professional level and this was reflected in the chosen Thought Leaders at last night’s event.

The two edifying panel discussions highlighting marketing in Australia and in China were illuminating the changing tourism world. Lauren Bath spoke eloquently on the power of an image transforming lives and businesses.

The evening continued with an inspirational keynote speech by Glenn and Heather Singleman, talking about their daredevil lives and pushing boundaries to gain our greater selves.

The presentations were introduced by popular host Tim “Rosso” Ross and concluded with welcome cocktail event for the who’s who of the global luxury travel industry .

Today, it is down to business as Luxperience international and local exhibitors and buyers gather at Doltone House Australian Technology Park for the first day of appointments.

Thousands of meetings will take place across the 3.5 day event and each attendee’s appointment schedule can be accessed through the indispensable Luxperience App, which includes personal diaries and itineraries, exhibition layout and their delegate access badge along with social media connectivity including the ability to contact other Luxperience delegates through messenger.
