Who we are

XS Luxury Incentives (XSLI) is about your access and connection to the world’s leading Suppliers in the high-end Meetings & Incentive industry; curated in bespoke, immersive and live experiences.

Our mission is to cultivate meaningful, lasting relationships through unique, shared experiences that showcase the best of the world’s premier MICE destinations. We strive to redefine B2B networking by offering bespoke luxury experiences that inspire and connect our community.

Say GOODBYE to large meeting rooms

and HELLO to experiential business networking!

The concept

Our event is designed to immerse you in the essence of various destinations through captivating “Gateways.” Each Gateway will feature interactive activities that bring the destination's unique story to life and delivered by a small group of suppliers from the destination you are experiencing: 15 partners from our host city Abu Dhabi, 30 partners from Regional Gateways and 6 partners for each of the 5 International Gateways.

Dig deeper into your business needs: each gateway session will end or start with a few pre-scheduled 1on1 meetings (6 during Abu Dhabi Gateway, 3 per Regional Gateway and International Gateway sessions, respectively). With over 35 meetings pre-allocated to enhance your experience throughout the event, you will make meaningful connections and gain deep insights into each destination.
