APRIL 2024
April was a pinnacle of The Society's calendar, with the Anniversary Cocktail Party followed by the 68th UICH International Congress in Bali.
Anniversary Cocktail Party
An evening of networking and celebrations was on the cards for the Concierge, hoteliers, business affiliates and guests at the Anniversary Cocktail Party at The Lanesborough London.
The 68th UICH International Congress
This historic event marked a significant milestone as Les Clefs d’Or Indonesia, the youngest member of the association, hosted its first-ever international congress in Bali.
This year's Congress takes place from 30th March to 4th April in Madrid, Spain - and is already fully-subscribed!

Toru Machida, President of The Society of the Golden Keys, said: "Laughter, story, best practice. There were so much to share with existing and new friends from all over the world during 68th International Congress of Les Clefs d'Or® International in Bali."
