“Exceeded My Expectations”
Joining Luxury Tribe has exceeded my expectations. I found the event incredibly well-organized and enriching. The Fireside chat has been very helpful and useful because we have had so many insights, numbers, and information about the market. Definitely, it’s very useful for us as an exhibitor to better understand the market before the meetings. That’s for sure very important. The selection of buyers at Luxury Tribe is exceptional and well-curated, catering specifically to high-end clientele, which aligns perfectly with our service focus. The event’s structure, which beautifully balances professional meetings with cultural visits and social interactions, allows for meaningful connections with buyers. It’s a good balance between the meetings and entertaining session, and cultural visit. You can spend time with the buyers and have a drink with the buyer. That’s extremely important because it’s the right mix, the right balance between meetings and fun.
