What happens when 400+ travel visionaries, industry powerhouses and hoteliers descend on one of the world’s most vibrant cities? You get IHG Ignite🔥- our annual three-day global customer gathering that’s part conference, part conversation, and all about sparking new ideas and connections. From Fortune 500 corporates, travel partners and Luxury & Lifestyle and Groups & Meetings professionals to airlines and small travel businesses, our customers brought revenue potential and a suitcase full of perspectives with them to this year’s host city, Dubai. Highlights? A fireside chat between our EMEAA CEO Kenneth Macpherson and SVP Global Sales Mark Sergot, sneak peeks at brand-new hotels, and a first look at loyalty innovations that make every stay more rewarding. Plus, plenty of time for networking and those “aha!” moments that only happen when the world comes together. To all our customers who joined us: thanks for the trust, the feedback, and the energy. Until next year…👀 #IHGIgnite #GlobalTravel #B2B #CustomerExcellence #IHGOnTheMove

1wLove this — when an event blends vision, commercial clarity, and real human connection, that’s when the industry actually moves. Dubai feels like the perfect backdrop for that kind of momentum. And as someone building ventures across luxury, travel, and lifestyle experiences, I always look for those “aha” moments that shift how we design for guests.
