LOS ANGELES — XBIZ Retreat is making its highly anticipated return to Amsterdam, set for Sept. 2–5 at the chic Park Centraal Hotel.
Situated in the lively heart of the iconic Dutch capital, the Park Centraal Hotel offers a refined atmosphere ideal for conducting business and nurturing connections.
“We’re excited to once again bring our signature format to Amsterdam, where attendees will have an unparalleled opportunity to cultivate relationships and advance their business objectives,” said XBIZ Associate Publisher Sara Ramirez.
Industry professionals attending XBIZ Retreat Amsterdam will experience a curated lineup of one-on-one meetings featuring the latest and greatest products, along with daily networking events.
“I have fostered great relationships with most vendors we have met at XBIZ Retreat, some leading to a decade of partnership and exclusive representation in India, the fastest growing market in the world for pleasure products,” said Raj Armani, co-founder and CEO of Imbesharam. “I like the one-on-one meeting format, where you command more attention and both parties get a chance to understand each other. The group events, like mixers and panels, bring great value. The sumptuous lunches and fabulous dinners do no harm, except loosen a few holes on my belt.”
Brunos co-owner Franz Landgraf-Happach reflected upon the last XBIZ Retreat Amsterdam, which took place in 2023, calling it an unforgettable experience.
“Nowhere else have I felt such a strong sense of connection and inspiration,” he recalled. “The intimate, face-to-face meetings create an atmosphere of trust and authenticity — the perfect foundation for meaningful and lasting business relationships. The group special events were just as powerful, bringing everyone together in a relaxed yet engaging setting.”
Yoav Elani, founder of Israel-based Import Master, also praised the opportunities at XBIZ Retreat Amsterdam.
“As a buyer, I have to choose my vendors by product, price and reputation; and XBIZ Retreat is a great format to get acquainted with the people behind the products,” he said. “The event allows us to understand the various products in detail and enables buyers a rare opportunity to intimately discuss their market, the challenges they are experiencing, and explore unique solutions.”
XBIZ Retreat Amsterdam will follow the event’s other editions, set for Miami, May 12–16, and Cabo San Lucas, Aug. 25–29.
