Overview
We are This is Beyond. A fast-moving, fast-thinking, and vibrant B2B events company based in London, we’ve evolved from an ambitious start-up into a global leader in creating innovative, genre-defining trade shows. Our portfolio of events doesn’t just fill a calendar—they reshape industries. We’re proud to be recognised as thought leaders in luxury travel, not just curating events, but building passionate, purpose-driven communities around them. From reimagining how travel trade connects, to crafting immersive, culture-led platforms like L.E/Miami, we exist to push the boundaries of what B2B experiences can be. Today, our portfolio features a mix of revolutionary, category-defining global travel trade shows. We’re obsessive about curating the right crowd, because there’s no substitute for great chemistry. Plus, we’re allergic to boring formats. So, expect exclusivity, expect inspiration, expect imaginative, immersive experiences that don’t feel like work! That’s exactly why they’re great for business.
