inVOYAGE 2020 destination revealed
We’re delighted to announce that inVOYAGE is heading to the glamorous Greek isle of Mykonos in 2020.
We have partnered with the luxury Myconian Collection to host next year’s event on Greece’s most famous cosmopolitan island. A whitewashed paradise in the heart of the Cyclades, Mykonos has retained a wild, natural beauty while evolving into one of the world’s most desirable destinations.
The seventh annual inVOYAGE – inMykonos – will bring luxury travel brands together with high-level event planners representing some of the world’s leading corporations on 4-7 October 2020. Taking place at the Group’s five-star properties in Elia Beach, inVOYAGE 2020 will showcase the best of Mykonos alongside the brand’s impressive luxury portfolio.
The Myconian Collection, which boasts some of the island’s most beautiful settings, is family-owned group of ten leading luxury hotels, including three Relais & Châteaux, two Leading Hotels of the World, two Design Hotels, two Preferred Hotels & Resorts and a Small Luxury Hotels of the World.
inVOYAGE co-founder and managing director Richard Joslin said: “It’s a great endorsement of inVOYAGE that the Daktylides family have put their faith in us and opened up the doors to their Myconian Collection. We have just completed our most successful event yet and all the feedback pays testament to the quality of delegates in the room.
“We have so much we want to achieve through inVOYAGE and with each edition we look to improve on the last. Working with the Myconian Collection provides us the opportunity to bring the event to a truly inspirational destination with a purely luxury brand run by passionate and dedicated hospitality professionals.”
Speaking on behalf of the Daktylides family and Myconian Collection, managing director of Royal Myconian and Myconian Utopia, Panos Daktylides added: “The selection of Mykonos as the inVOYAGE destination for 2020 fills us with joy. We are looking forward to welcoming our esteemed partners to the Royal Myconian, the Myconian Imperial and the rest of our properties for an event filled with meaningful connections, insightful discussions and thought leadership, against the background of one of the most iconic island destinations in the world.”
