Las Vegas, NV - October 2, 2025 - TravMedia hosted the inaugural IMM LUX Las Vegas, a new luxury version of their IMM 'International Media Marketplace' series. The event brought together an exceptional delegation of media and luxury partners for a full day of 22 pre-scheduled one-on-one meetings, networking, and story development at Resorts World Las Vegas.
Building on the momentum of the IMM Luxury Summit the day prior, the debut edition of IMM LUX delivered a powerful combination of editorial insight and high-value networking, helping set the agenda for luxury storytelling in the year ahead.
“Luxury deserves its own stage, and IMM LUX is it,” said Nick Wayland, Founder and CEO of TravMedia. “Yesterday, we heard from leaders redefining luxury through personalization, culture, and creativity. Today was about action: meaningful conversations, new relationships, and story ideas that will inspire audiences around the world.”
The inaugural IMM LUX Las Vegas was made possible through the generous support of its partners. The Host City Sponsor Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA) welcomed delegates to the global capital of entertainment and hospitality, underscoring the city's world-class standing as a hub for luxury experiences. The IMM LUX Headline Sponsor Mexican Caribbean Tourism Board showcased the region's expanding luxury offerings, highlighting its natural beauty, cultural heritage, and new developments designed to attract high-end travelers.
The Venetian Resort Las Vegas hosted the IMM LUX media delegation for two nights and capped the program with a Closing Cocktail Reception at the newly opened Bazaar Meat by José Andrés. MGM Resorts International and Caesars Entertainment was the pre-FAM host hotel partner, and Cirque du Soleil hosted a choice of shows for the media delegation on night one of the two-day event.
