Curated by editor in chief Jacqueline Gifford, the summit addresses the evolving landscape of travel through a series of high-level panels and discussions. The program examines how artificial intelligence and shifting media consumption patterns are redefining luxury, alongside the growing consumer demand for slow, immersive travel experiences. The event will also explore the intersection of sports and hospitality, analyzing how competitive play-driven programming like padel courts is becoming a primary amenity for modern travelers.

The roster of speakers features a cross-section of global hospitality and design experts, including Kit Kemp, co-founder of Firmdale Hotels; Ben Trodd, CEO of Four Seasons Yachts; and Marie-Louise Sciò, CEO of Pellicano Hotel Group. Actor and producer Alan Cumming is set to join Gifford for a discussion on the role of destinations in creative success, while international editors from the brand will provide regional insights into shifting travel preferences. Sponsored by groups including Accor Vacation Club and Destination Canada, the summit aims to cement London’s position as a central hub for global travel discourse.
