One of the highlights of Luxperience has always been the vibrant social and networking events. For 2018 we have completely revamped our opening night and Awards events. As always, the show is not all about work – there is plenty of time for play too.

For the first time, the highly anticipated opening night event for Luxperience 2018 will be combined with the excitement of the Luxperience Award winners being announced, all in the sumptuous surroundings of the Merivale ivy Ballroom on Sunday 16 September. 

The Awards will recognise innovative products and services, exceptional experiential tourism products, examples of social responsibility and outstanding marketing campaigns. They will also highlight a visionary tourism office, which has influenced the development of luxury and experiential tourism within their country or region.

Over the years, Luxperience has built a reputation of hosting ground-breaking and motivating speakers and 2018 will be no different. This year's keynote speaker at the Opening Session is the erudite and innovative Dr Jordan Nguyen, inventor of the mind-controlled smart wheelchair.

Following the keynote speech and Awards, the frivolity and conviviality will continue at the 'Welcome to Sydney Party' next door at Merivale's ivy Den and Lounge. Taste buds will be tempted by delectable morsels inspired by the multicultural delights hidden within the global metropolis of Sydney.

Luxperience partner, Merivale is also the official Luxperience After Party venue. It is hosting those keen night owls at the Establishment on Sunday and Monday evenings and at Hemmesphere on Tuesday night.

The business action of Luxperience commences on Monday, 17 September at 8.30 am, hopefully with not too many sore heads. 

Taking place from 16-19 September 2018, Luxperience is an invitation-only business forum that is the only one of its kind based in the Australasia and Pacific region connecting the world's most exclusive travel providers dealing in luxury and experiential travel.
