About PROUD

Here’s everything you need to know about our fabulous three-day show.

A first of its kind, PROUD Experiences brings together leaders from the travel & lifestyle sectors to develop business strategies, expand LGBTQ+ understanding and connect with like-minded peers.

Launched in London in 2018 and established in New York, PROUD Experiences became an open space for debate, discussion and joint action. Agents, brands, designers, experiences, press and speakers joined us throughout the years in a show of a different kind – a show connecting travel & lifestyles professionals looking to embrace and elevate the LGBTQ+ community.

Now moving to Los Angeles in 2023 – PROUD continues to curate authentic, hyper-personalised travel & lifestyle experiences for the LGBTQ+ community, ensuring everyone has the right to #belongeverywhere.

What to expect

Do business

Face-to-face meetings are more important than ever. Using our bespoke matchmaking tool, you can avoid meaningless conversations and build lasting relationships. Connecting you with buyers or suppliers that fulfil your aspirations, your tailored diary is a gateway to future business.

Open minds

PROUD Experiences is so much more than matchmaking. Engaging with our educational sessions, you can open your mind to the realities of LGBTQ+ travel. Initiating in-depth conversations on the resilient market, these sessions are key to your future decision making.

Have fun

All work and no play, well, you know the rest. Relaxing at our networking events, you can explore some of Brooklyn’s most creative spaces with our PROUD community. Synchronising good friends, good food and good music, these sessions are supposed to be enjoyed!

Where are we?

Fairmont Century Plaza will be our new home in June 2023. Los Angeles’ luxury landmark, where business meets Hollywood, is a place of distinctive neighbourhood identities. 

It is located at the core of the city, within walking distance to chic boutiques in the Westside’s most walkable neighbourhood.

Decarbonising the events industry, together

At RX, we are serious about sustainability. We are founding members of the Net Zero Carbon Events pledge to make our company, our shows and the wider events industry net zero. We commit to being Net Zero by 2040 and to make a 50% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030.

In 2023 we will publish our pathway to net zero, setting out our reduction strategy with key milestones for all our shows. Given the complex nature of our supply chain and the emissions associated with a show, it is only by working together as an industry that we will be able to reduce our impact. We are building a company of net zero heroes to take action and ensure a sustainable future
