Oman

Kempinski, Muscat

1-4 October 2023

**World-Class Networking Immersion**

**3 Days, 200 Brands and 3,000 Meetings!**
inVOYAGE welcomed the top luxury hotels, travel brands, and event professionals from around the world to Muscat in Oman. During the first week of Oct ‘23 they were welcomed under the beautiful roof of Kempinski Hotel Muscat, networking with the highest caliber of clients. Delegates were given the chance to connect through shared experiences, enjoy relaxed networking sessions and step into the shoes of their top clients with an unbelievable array of local excursions to get involved in.
From networking drinks and engaging panel talks to snorkelling off the coastline and trying their hand at Omani cuisine, 3 days flew by in no time…

Our inVOYAGER’s started their immersive networking experience in Oman with a beautiful Dhow cruise followed by a captivating welcome reception out on the poolside of Kempinski Hotel Muscat. A chance to open the floor up to an incredible panel of Omani women, and learn more about the ongoing initiatives spearheaded by Oman’s 2024 vision, it was an inspiring start to the programme and a promise of all to come.

The next few days were split between a morning of fantastic experiences (scuba diving, fishing, city excursions, Trekking, Tailoring & cooking) and engaging afternoons of 1-1 meetings before the evening lent itself to some well-earned downtime and networkings. From a rooftop dining experience at the Siddharta Longe at the W Hotel in Muscat to our final closing party at the Shangri La, it was the perfect relaxed environment for catching up with colleagues and strengthening relationships.

With a fantastic mix of industry professionals from all over the world, it was a truly captivating 3 days enjoying all Oman had to offer and networking with peers under the clear blue Arabian skies.
