Virtuoso will bring its flagship luxury travel event back to Las Vegas from 8 to 14 August 2026, introducing a revamped networking format, new educational programming and a keynote address from leadership expert Brené Brown.
Now in its 38th year, Virtuoso Travel Week will be held across Bellagio Resort & Casino, ARIA Resort & Casino, The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas and Vdara Hotel & Spa, bringing together thousands of travel professionals from more than 105 countries.
New networking model aims to improve business connections
A key change for 2026 is the introduction of matched networking appointments, allowing attendees to nominate preferred meetings before the event to create more targeted business connections between advisors, agency members and preferred partners.
New additions also include Virtuoso Gives Back, a volunteer program supporting the Las Vegas community, and Destination & Trend Sessions, which will explore emerging travel trends and destinations using insights from the Virtuoso Luxe Report.
The popular Globetrotting showcase also returns, highlighting Virtuoso’s specialist communities across adventure, cruise, culinary, family and celebration, ultraluxury travel and wellness.
Technology and collaboration remain in focus
The Travel Tech Summit returns for its fifth year, examining how technology can strengthen advisor-client relationships, while Braindate sessions will once again provide opportunities for peer-to-peer learning and small-group discussions.
More than 50 international journalists from nine countries and regions are also expected to attend through Virtuoso’s dedicated media program.
The opening session will feature keynote speaker Brené Brown, whose work on leadership, courage and human connection will set the tone for the week-long event.
