WHAT OTHERS HAVE SAID

  • "Attending Synergy for the first time was a standout experience for us. The connections we made felt genuinely meaningful — people were open, supportive, and genuinely interested in collaboration. It wasn’t just about networking; real friendships have started to form, and several exciting partnership ideas are already taking shape. The event itself was well run and thoughtfully organised, with a team that clearly cares about helping small businesses shine."

    Amanda Jennings (Exhibitor)

  • "Synergy is exactly that…a synergetic approach to travel, wellness, tourism, hospitality, and hotelier culture in one. It allows you to explore the intersections of each of these dimensions by meeting with experts in the industry. It is opening new opportunities of collaboration between travel advisors, retreat leaders, and innovative wellness professionals highlighted by the beautiful properties who create the backdrop of these unique experiences."

    Crystal Carnahan (Buyer)

  • "The Synergy community is a global phenomenon - a fun, loving, and mindful group of people committed to the health and well-being of people all over the world. "

    Christopher Robbins (Retreat Leader)

  • "Synergy is a must attend for me as a Travel Agency owner focused on the Wellness and Experiential Travel Niche. The community of people that Synergy attracts is one of passion, kindness and ambition which is a beautiful combination. People who care, are engaging but also focused on making a positive impact. I have attended twice and have seen more business growth through the connections and collaborations than attending any other travel trade show."

    Mark Hodgson (Buyer)

  • “Synergy - The Retreat Show is the first trade show where I came away knowing more about myself, as well as about the people I met. I found people wanted to get to know you, what you’re about, rather than show you endless power-point presentations, and understand where – ironically – the synergies are. The show has a special energy, and everyone has a unique story to tell about their own journey to wellness, either as a practitioner and retreat leader, or about why their resort or hotel is a special place that embraces wellness.”

    April Hutchinson (Journalist)

  • "My first Synergy blew me away with the experiential details of everything. I made new friends, expanded my business network and created new collaborations. It has created a beautiful expansion of my journey and opportunity for my business."

    Ron Hill (Retreat Leader)

    Isabelle Houde (Exhibitor)

  • "Attending Synergy - The Retreat Show was yet again a valuable and insightful experience for We Love Transformational Travel.

The sense of community and shared commitment to meaningful travel experiences was particularly striking."

    Niamh Keohan (Sponsor)

  • "Synergy was one of the best travel conferences I have ever attended. My experience really open my mind to how we can bring wellness to our client's journey and be more in touch with our client's intention for travel. The product showcased at the conference is the best in the market and the team at Synergy created the perfect backdrop for attendees to connect, share and journey together."

    Anna Jones (Buyer)

  • "The Synergy Show brought together a rare mix of wisdom, curiosity and heart. The talks and workshops were truly inspiring. Thoughtful, well curated and led by people who live what they teach.
