Vertical Travel Group (VTG) is to hold it 2026 conference in the UAE.
The event is to be staged in Ras Al Khaimah on June 7-10 with delegates staying at the Movenpick Resort Al Marjan Island.
The gathering is expected to be one of its biggest conferences to date, with strong early interest already recorded from both agents and trade partners, according to the group.
The 2026 programme is being shaped with feedback from agents and suppliers.
The agenda will place an even greater focus on “meaningful networking”, more opportunities to connect with a wider range of suppliers, and an expanded schedule of activities designed to help delegates learn, share and do business together, VTG said.
Chief executive Peter Healey said: “Announcing the conference at our agent Christmas celebration lunches in Manchester and London (pictured) gave us an early glimpse of just how much excitement there is across the group.
“The response was outstanding, and it’s clear that 2026 is shaping up to be a genuinely memorable event.
“This conference will also mark an important moment for Vertical Travel Group as we enter a new chapter through our move to the Advantage Travel Partnership.
“We’re looking forward to celebrating those new beginnings with our agent community and trade partners, while keeping our focus firmly on growth, collaboration and delivering even more value across the business.”
Commercial director Chris Richmond added: “Over the past several months, I’ve been working closely with the Ras Al Khaimah Tourism Development Authority to secure the right destination and partners to deliver a conference our agents will genuinely benefit from.
“We’ve listened carefully to what our agents and suppliers want more of, and we’re acting on it.
“Ras Al Khaimah gives us an incredible backdrop, but it’s the content and the connections that matter most.
“We’re building a programme that’s sharper, more valuable and more enjoyable from start to finish, with stronger networking, more trade partner involvement and plenty of opportunities to bring the conference to life in a really memorable way.”
