Aspire unveils new event and fresh conference venue for 2026
Aspire has released its 2026 events schedule, including confirmed dates and locations for Leaders of Luxury, the Aspire Awards, The Retreat and Aspire Escapes. The brand’s flagship Leaders of Luxury
conference will take place on June 22 at The Peninsula London, marking a new venue for the event for the first time in four years. The conference – held in partnership with headline sponsor Explora Journeys – will once again bring together 250 handpicked senior industry leaders for a day of insight and analysis on the luxury travel sector. The Aspire Awards will also return in 2026, taking place on December 14 at Kimpton Clocktower Hotel in Manchester in partnership with headline sponsor Virgin Atlantic. Aspire will host seven Aspire Escapes this
year in both day and overnight formats. Launched in 2021, the UK event series has become one of the brand’s most sought-after experiences, with each Escape bringing together 20 luxury agents and 20 premium suppliers. New for 2026, Aspire will also host its first
Great Escape in September at luxury Suffolk venue Wilderness Reserve. The event will be based on the much-loved
Last year’s Aspire Escape at Lainston House, Hampshire
Aspire Escapes model, but will be longer and larger in size, with 30 luxury agents and 30 suppliers coming together for two full days of networking and relationship building. Aspire’s two overseas Retreats for 2026
will take place in Antigua and Andalusia, Spain (more on page 8). Acting editor Erica Rich said: “Aspire’s
events portfolio has grown hugely over the years in line with industry demand and we are proud of the diverse and comprehensive offering available to luxury travel sellers. “We’re here to support our agent and supplier partners to ensure the luxury travel sector continues to grow."
