PROUD Experiences to Merge with ILTM North America 2025


RX Global/ILTM is excited to announce that PROUD Experiences, the LGBTQ+ travel tradeconference, will be joining forces with ILTM North America in Baha Mar, Bahamas starting October 2025.

By integrating PROUD Experiences as a kick-off conference for ILTM North America, ILTM aims to extend the unique opportunity for luxury travel professionals to engage with the most current issues around inclusivity and representation in the sector.

Simon Mayle, Event Director for ILTM North America and PROUD Experiences at RX Global, commented: "The invaluable content on diversity and inclusion in luxury travel presented at PROUD since its inception in 2018 has been a vital learning resource for the entire industry. By hosting PROUD Experiences alongside ILTM North America, we can broaden these important conversations and continue to elevate the significance of DEI in the luxury travel market."

The PROUD Experiences conference will take place on Monday, 6 October, prior to the opening of ILTM North America. Exhibitors and North American buyers at PROUD Experiences will be invited to participate in ILTM North America.
