Virtuoso has concluded a stellar year of events across Australia and New Zealand. Proving the power of human connection, hundreds of top advisors and some of the most established brands in high-end offerings prioritised the opportunity to come together face-to-face.
The year started with Virtuoso Forum held in Perth, presented in partnership with Tourism Western Australia, and continued with Connects and On Tour events, showcasing various hotel, resort and destination partners. Virtuoso proved its leadership position in luxury travel, sharing insights and building relationships amongst industry leaders at these events.
In 2025, Virtuoso held 11 events in Australia and New Zealand that brought together more than 200 preferred partners for meaningful engagement with luxury travel advisors, amounting to more than 3,380 hours of networking appointments. The upcoming year is set to raise the bar even higher, with 14 events planned for the region and more than 90 events scheduled worldwide.
Virtuoso advisor Sharyn Kitchener of Mosman Travel said, “Attending Virtuoso events this year has been a highlight for me and my team. Whether in Australia, New Zealand or overseas, each event offered remarkable opportunities to strengthen relationships with valued partners and to discover innovative trends and products shaping the industry.
“Engaging with fellow advisors in such dynamic settings sparked new ideas and sharpened our expertise, empowering us to deliver even more imaginative and thoughtful experiences for our clients.”
Greg Treasure, Virtuoso’s General Manager, Australia and New Zealand, said: “2025 has been an incredible year of events, giving advisors the tools and connections to thrive in a rapidly evolving luxury travel landscape. We’re proud of the opportunities we create for advisors to elevate their expertise and strengthen relationships with our preferred partners.”
“Looking ahead, we’re excited to build on this momentum with a robust events program in 2026,” Treasure continued.
“We’re starting the year with our On Tour: Hotels & Resorts events. Held across three cities, the events attract hotel and resort partners from around the world. There are still some spots available for preferred partners to attend but get in quick.
“In March, we’ll host Virtuoso Forum in Auckland for the first time in partnership with Tourism New Zealand. We look forward to another year of connection in luxury travel,” Treasure added.
