Luxury agent event heading to Belfast
Luxpo, the one-to-one meetings event created by ttgluxury, will be taking place in the city in September.
The Luxpo event was launched in London in 2014 with regional dates added in 2016 to take the concept further afield to premium agents.
The first of the 2017 regional events was held on June 5 in Edinburgh at The Principal, which has just been renovated as part of a makeover for the entire brand, followed by Manchester on July 11 at the Radisson.
The final event of the regional tour will be in Belfast, held at The Merchant, one of the city’s finest hotels, on September 26, where 15 suppliers such as One&Only, Silversea and Oman Tourism will meet with agents in a series of 12-minute meetings at the hotel.
“We are loving the opportunity to take this exciting collection of brands and companies with us to meet with agents in Edinburgh, Manchester and Belfast, areas where we know there is plenty of potential among agents’ affluent clients,” said editor of ttgluxury April Hutchinson.
Any agents in and around the Belfast area who are interested in attending Luxpo should send an email to events@ttgluxury.com.
