I Was There – TTM Luxury will make its grand debut on 25th August 2026, bringing together luxury resorts in the Maldives and high-end travel designers in an exclusive one-day event hosted at a Maldivian luxury resort.
Participation is by invitation only, extended to owners, directors, senior executives, and top-level management from luxury travel brands and properties. Exhibitors will comprise Maldives’ leading luxury resorts along with globally influential luxury travel designers and buyers, ensuring that every interaction holds real value.
What sets TTM Luxury apart is its authentic experiential networking, crafted to encourage authentic connections and powerful collaborations. Every interaction is intentionally designed to feel personal, purposeful, and memorable, ensuring conversations naturally evolve into long-term partnerships.
To maximise productivity during the event, all property information, partner introductions, and destination familiarisation will be conducted prior via exclusive webinars and a dedicated online portal. This ensures that when delegates meet in person, conversations go straight to opportunities rather than introductions.
The one-day programme unfolds in an elegant balance of business and celebration, featuring authentic experiential networking sessions, followed by a networking luncheon that keeps connections flowing. The day culminates with the iconic “I Was There” Gala, with awards and a vibrant after-party that serves as an emotional crescendo where every attendee leaves not just with business deals, but with a story to proudly tell — I was there.
In celebration of excellence, the event will also introduce the TTM Luxury Awards, honouring standout properties and innovative travel designers who elevate the future of ultra-luxury travel.
As part of TTM Maldives – Decade of Excellence marking the 10th edition, TTM Luxury 2026 will be a milestone moment, ushering in a new era of luxury travel networking in the Maldives. More than just an event, I Was There – TTM Luxury is a moment to be part of, to be proud of, and to remember. Because when it’s over, one sentiment will echo across the industry: “I was there.”
