FAQ

When choosing event destinations, we carefully evaluate multiple factors to ensure that we provide the best possible experiences around the world.


Considerations include:
 
  • Collaboration with our Preferred Partners to showcase diverse destinations so that Members and Partners can experience a destination and then share them with their clients.
  • Emerging destinations that we believe Virtuoso travelers will want to discover or destinations that have historically had lasting and broad appeal.
  • Offering events in different locations globally, so that travel duration and expenses are not disproportionate for Members and Partners in any one region over time.
  • Our selection process also considers practical considerations such as transportation options as well as hotel and meeting space capacity.
     

These small-scale networking events may last a few hours to a half day, allowing you to meet with a range of Virtuoso Preferred Partners. While locations and agenda details will vary, each Virtuoso Connects is designed for you to explore new Partner experiences, deepen relationships, and discover the latest offerings for your clients.
