With less than three months to go until CT Partners’ 2026 Annual Conference sets sail, the network has plenty to celebrate with Singapore Airlines signing on as Diamond Sponsor. for a fifth-year running.
The conference themed The Art of Travel, will take place between 15-20 November 2026, opening at the W Shanghai before delegates board Luminara, The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection’s newest superyacht, for a three-night voyage to Hong Kong.
Singapore Airlines is once again Diamond Sponsor, marking a fifth consecutive year backing the event after a record year of partnership. The airline will host the first exclusively Member event on board Luminara.
Greg McJarrow, General Manager Agency Sales at Singapore Airlines, said they were pleased to be coming back as Diamond Sponsor. “We value the partnership we share with each CT Partners and its Members and we are pleased to once again demonstrate our support. This years conference is very unique and we look forward to engaging with members as we sail from Shanghai to Hong Kong aboard Luminara to celebrate The Art of Travel.”
CT Partners CEO Matt Masson said Singapore Airlines’ commitment to a fifth year speaks for itself. “Having Singapore Airlines continue as our Diamond Sponsor says everything about the mutual respect and shared values at the heart of this partnership. That’s something we don’t take for granted and we love spending time together at our conference,” he said.
AI strategist and entrepreneur Adrian Giles will headline the CT Partners Conference, drawing on a major research project mapping how AI and robotics will reshape more than 350 Australian occupations over the decade to 2036, including how tasks will change and how roles will evolve.
Ahead of the conference, Giles will survey CT Partners members and supplier partners about their AI readiness – where AI is already being used, whether organisations are moving beyond individual experimentation, what is holding progress back, and what practical support delegates want. He will combine those findings with his workforce research to tailor a practical, data-informed keynote and small-group workshops.
“The Art of Travel isn’t just a theme, it encapsulates what this conference will be. Between the location, the speakers and the partners we’ve got on board, this is shaping up to be an extraordinary few days for our members and supplier partners attending,” said Masson.
Full event details and program updates of CT Partners highly anticipated 2026 conference will be announced in the month ahead.
