Members of The Society of the Golden Keys and guests gathered in Bali for the 68th UICH Les Clefs D'or International Congress.
This historic event marks a significant milestone as Les Clefs d’Or Indonesia, the youngest member of the association, hosted its first-ever international congress.
As always, a selection of speakers were chosen to ensure both an informative and engaging congress.
Highlights included The Opening Gala and Welcome Dinner, First-Time Attendees Meeting and Board of Directors Meeting, Education Day and the much- anticipated Country Dinner. The event concluded with
The General Assembly and Gala Dinner.
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.
"Thanks to Stuart Greif, Tristan Gadsby, Shane O'Flaherty and Richard Schestak, it was the most engaging, relevant and practical educational day in recent congresses."

Mr Machida added: "One of the highlights was to meet the record number of both first-time attendees and Young Concierge Award candidates including our own Tom Wardley, who proudly represented The Society of the Golden Keys of Great Britain & the Commonwealth. They are the future of our profession. All GB colleagues are proud of how hard he worked and how close he came."
