PROUD Experiences 2024, taking place from 3-5 June 2024 at the Fairmont Century Plaza, Los Angeles, will provide an increased flight contribution rebate to all ‘hosted buyers’ attending the event.“Our first PROUD in LA this year had a waitlist of applications for buyer places as well as exhibitors following a sell-out event. We wanted to make it even more accessible for travel advisors to attend next year and have increased the rebate offered as we accept all pre-qualified agents,” said Simon Mayle, Event Director, PROUD Experiences.
Attending PROUD Experiences as a hosted buyer provides over two days of prescheduled business appointments, access to all PROUD business, educational, and networking events, up to a 3-night stay in an LA hotel, and a flight contribution rebate of up to US$1,000 – double the allowance offered this year – dependant on departing country and subject to availability.PROUD Experiences brings together over 180 suppliers from 40 countries meeting with international buyers to understand, connect and develop business strategies within the LGBTQ+ community.
