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.

Virtuoso Connects are events for all Members (Front-Line Advisors, Independent Contractors, Agency Owners & Managers) and Preferred Partners. 

  • Members – No. Registration is available on first come, first served.
  • Partners - Yes, because space is limited, we ask that you request to attend to ensure that Partners of all types and sizes are equally represented at the event.
    • Important Note: Please do not make air travel arrangements until we confirm your request. Per our cancellation policy, submitting a "Request to Attend" means you are fully committed to attending the entire event. 

Registration will open January 31, 2024 at 10:00 AM CST and close September 26, 2024 at 11:59 PM CST.

Your registration to attend a Virtuoso event is a commitment to attend. Your registration affects availability for other attendees because each event has limited capacity.

 
After September 26, 2024 cancellation penalties apply if you:
  • Cancel your registration
  • Fail to complete your registration
  • Fail to attend the event
Virtuoso will not provide refunds for any portion of the event registration fee or accommodation costs.  Cancellation penalties cannot be used as a credit toward a future event.  Virtuoso encourages you to purchase travel insurance through one of our Preferred Partners to protect your travel investment.

For any advisors who cancel after the September 26, 2024 deadline, or no-show at the actual event will be charged a $50 late cancellation penalty.
 

This event does not have a room block. Virtuoso recommends you use your resources to secure a local hotel.

  • Members - Yes, more than one attendee may join. Please ensure all Members who wish to attend register for the event. Please note that registration is available on first come, first served and each additional Member attendee will also pay the full registration fee amount.
  • Partners - Yes, space permitting, more than one attendee may join. Please note that all Preferred Partners who wish to attend need to submit their Request to Attend and each Preferred Partner attendee will pay the full registration fee amount. Global Member Partnerships will review all requests to attend to ensure equal attendance between all Members and Partners. We will do everything possible to accommodate all requests to attend.
No. Only registered Member and Partner attendees are allowed to access functions/activities within a Virtuoso Event. If you invite a guest to stay with you in your hotel room, that's totally fine. Just know, they will not be permitted into official meeting functions (day or night) according to the online agenda, per event.

You can expect an evening of informal networking over drinks and cocktails. Each participating Partner will have their own high-top table, and Advisors will move around. Expect a comfortable and casual setting to make new connections and discover new products and experiences for clients.

Dress to impress! We encourage business casual attire for the event.

Here are Virtuoso’s suggestions: business dress, skirt, pants, blouse, or a collared shirt (tie & jacket optional).
