This pioneer B2B conference will be the first of its kind and leading travel companies from all over the world will come together to participate in an intense day of networking and innovation talks.
TravelgateX has now been serving and connecting companies around the world for seven years. For 2019, the team decided it was time to ”de-virtualize” their partners and offer a space where everyone could get to know each other in person. Con-X 2019 is the first annual conference organized by this marketplace and aims to bring to Mallorca over 300 partners from around the world. The event will be held in a majestic 13th-century Mallorcan Finca founded by Oliver de Termes, one of King James I of Aragon knights.
CON-X is based around the three pillars of the company: Network, Innovation, and Partnership. During the event, the attendees will have the opportunity to meet and interact with other professionals, attend talks and hear from intrepid companies certain to inspire. Attendees will also participate in tactical workshops specially designed to discover new business opportunities.

Network: Businesses are made up of people, and those people have relationships and links with the communities in which they live. A network is key for any business; it’s where new associations are created, and existing ones are strengthened.
Innovation: Be inspired by the leaders and innovators of the industry, learn what they have already done, what they are doing now and what they are going to do in the future.
Partnership: People are what matter most in business and everyone will be at CON-X, including the C-Level of the most influential companies in the industry. You just can not afford to miss out on this opportunity.
