In-person events are the most trusted information source
With misinformation on the rise, in-person events have emerged as the most trusted source of information. Face-to-face interactions foster not only credibility but also inspire fresh ideas, collaboration, and connection amidst ongoing global shifts.

Networking, Reimagined in a World-Class Destination
This is where leisure travel intersects with MICE, bringing business out of the office and into the luxury resort experience of AVA Cancun. The venue that inspires a high-net-worth family holiday is now equally suited to a C-suite retreat.
ULTRA combines a forum of high-touch, one-to-one meetings with great networking activities, focusing on the business of luxury rather than just the transaction of travel and extending beyond the boundaries of any single consortium. Networking takes place both within the resort and at carefully selected offsite locations, intentionally designed to inspire meaningful connection and immerse attendees in a sought-after, luxury travel destination first-hand.
