The Guide

WELCOME

Congratulations, we look forward to welcoming you for the sixth edition of Do Not Disturb!

To the Custodians of Private Travel,

Do Not Disturb is a global gathering reserved for the custodians who preserve the world’s most remarkable places, experiences and cultures, ensuring they remain protected for generations to come. Every person within this singular collective has been brought together with intention.

This is your sanctuary, one where trusted conversations unfold, relationships are strengthened, and the value of discretion is understood. Here, outstanding properties and opportunities are introduced by reputation rather than status. From private islands, aviation and superyacht charters, to private residences and villas, the world’s hidden destinations are ready to be revealed.

This year’s edition reflects the philosophy of ‘Reserved’: a celebration of the rarest places, experiences and connections that are entrusted to those who understand their intrinsic value. Much like our home for the week, Borgo Egnazia, an environment that reflects the highest expression of luxury: expansive space, intimate seclusion, and enduring sustainability.

Use this guide throughout your time in Puglia, and as a trusted reference for the relationships, introductions and opportunities that continue long after the gathering concludes.

MEETINGS

Do Not Disturb’s online appointment system has pre-arranged up to 39 of the most business-effective meetings, each lasting 20 minutes, with the leading exhibitors and buyers in private travel. How the matching works:

PHASE 1: BUILD YOUR PROFILE

This information will be made available to Buyers and Press when they select their appointment preferences in Phase 2 (see below), so make sure your profile stands out from the crowd.

Please ensure that you only input information for the company you have been invited to represent and the people who will be representing your company at the show.

 

PHASE 2 OPENS: APPOINTMENT PREFERENCES
28 SEPTEMBER – 14 OCTOBER 2026

This is where you will have access to key information on the Buyers and Press attending the show and is where you will be able to select 85 preferences based on those Buyers and Press you most want to meet with.

 

NEXT: WE DO THE MATCHMAKING
15 OCTOBER – 25 OCTOBER 2026

Once Phase 2 closes, we run a matching algorithm to generate appointments.

 

PHASE 3: ONLINE DIARY OPENS
26 OCTOBER 2026

You will be sent your online diary, where you’ll be able to see the appointments that resulted from our matching algorithm and where you’ll be able to request meetings in any empty slots with Buyers or Press who are also available in those time slots.

Be sure to keep logging in during this phase to accept/decline any requests. If you have any queries or issues with your diary, please contact the team as soon as possible for assistance.

MISSED MEETINGS

IMPORTANT: Do Not Disturb takes the issue of missed meetings very seriously, whether by Exhibitors, Buyers or Press. Unless you are able to provide a sufficient and relevant explanation for your absence, missing even one meeting may compromise your and your company’s ability to participate in Do Not Disturb or in any This is Beyond event in the future. All missed appointments are recorded and monitored tightly – we ask that you report every missed appointment via the Event App. Click on the meeting you would like to report in your diary, and select “Mark as No Show”. Alternatively, please email donotdisturb@thisisbeyond.com.

PACKING LIST

This year’s experience blends semi-formal meetings with outdoor adventures, elegant dinners, and time under the Apulian sun. Pack smart, travel light, and be ready for every moment.

BUSINESS & APPOINTMENTS

  • Smart-casual or semi-formal attire for meetings (think chic yet comfortable)
  • Light blazers or linen jackets for daytime appointments
  • Breathable shirts or blouses – neutral tones work best in the southern Italian sun
  • Smart trousers, skirts, or tailored dresses
  • Comfortable flats, loafers, block heels or dress shoes for walking between meeting spaces
  • Optional: a scarf, light sweater, or wrap for cooler mornings, excursions and indoor air-conditioning

 

OUTDOOR MORNING ACTIVITIES & LUNCH EXCURSIONS

  • Comfortable walking shoes or trainers
  • Lightweight trousers (or shorts for tennis/padel)
  • Casual resort wear for local excursions
  • Sunglasses and a wide-brimmed hat for protection during morning activities, car journeys, and outdoor lunches
  • A small daypack or crossbody bag for essentials
  • Light jacket or windbreaker for early mornings and seaside breezes

EVENINGS & SPECIAL OCCASIONS

  • Welcome Reception: No dress code. The first evening is a kaleidoscope of culture, cuisine and celebration along the cobblestoned streets of Piazza del Borgo. It is outdoors, so bring a warm layer and wear flat shoes.
  • Hidden Aperitivos & After Party at Borgo Egnazia: No dress code. Dinner is in and around Borgo Egnazia, with areas outside, so bring a warm layer and wear flat shoes. High heels are not recommended for this evening.
  • Villa Dine-Around Dinner & After Party at Borgo Egnazia: Stylish casual or smart resort wear. This will be followed by an After Party at the Beach Club, which is indoors.
  • Closing Gala: Tonight celebrates an unforgettable week and closes out in true Do Not Disturb fashion. Put your best foot forward for a glamorous evening. More details will be revealed soon!

While heels may pair beautifully with eveningwear, the cobblestone paths and charming streets of Puglia can be tricky to navigate in them. We recommend packing a pair of elegant flats, wedges or block heels to keep you comfortable and graceful when the occasion calls for exploring or standing a little longer. Pack a shawl or light jacket for evening temperatures.

ESSENTIALS & EXTRAS

  • Sunscreen and lip balm
  • Refillable water bottle
  • Sunglasses (a must!)
  • Hat or cap
  • Chargers, adapters (Type F / European plug)
  • Business cards or digital contact QR
  • Travel documents and ID

PACKING TIPS

  • Layers are key — mornings and evenings can be cool, afternoons warm.
  • Puglia’s stone paths and coastal settings call for flat, sturdy footwear.
  • Keep it effortless: think understated elegance with Mediterranean ease.

OPEN HOUSE BY DO NOT DISTURB

 

Taking place on Monday 9 November 2026, between 14:00 and 17:30, Open House by Do Not Disturb is about curating an influential community dedicated to shaping the landscape of private travel with the leaders in this global network.

A circle of tastemakers united by a shared appreciation for thoughtful travel, secluded spaces and artful experiences that feel deeply personal.

Nothing is off limits. The most unexpected ideas often leave the strongest impression.

Welcome to the beginning of the conversation.

Please be advised that your space has been especially reserved for this experience, so please ensure you are in attendance. 

RESERVE YOUR PLACE IN THE CONVERSATION

Together, private travel’s most discerning minds will explore what matters now and what comes next, united by a shared appreciation for travel that is artful, personal and deeply considered.

Open House by Do Not Disturb unfolds through a thought-provoking keynote, fast-paced SPARK Talks and intimate SALON Discussions that challenge perspectives, inspire new thinking and help shape the future of private travel.

FORUMS are your micro-community within Do Not Disturb, a group of peers connected by a shared experience, mindset or journey.

Select the Forum you most identify with, and we’ll curate the groups from there. At some point during the week, we’ll create an opportunity for you to find and spend time with your Forum, perhaps over lunch, dinner or somewhere unexpected. We’ll keep the when and where a surprise. Think of it simply as another way to find your people.
We create the group. What happens next is up to you.

Now, we invite you to help shape the conversation. Propose a talk, suggest a discussion or put forward an idea you believe the Do Not Disturb community needs to explore. Whether you would like to take the floor or simply suggest a topic, complete one of the forms below to have your say.

EXHIBITING GUIDELINES

 

GENERAL GUIDELINES

You’ve been selected to exhibit at Do Not Disturb because you are a leader in private travel. Follow these guidelines and make sure your show experience is seamless.

  • Keep your stand neat and tidy at all times.
  • Avoid eating at your stand where possible, as this does not look appealing to visitors.
  • Do not leave your stand unattended, as this might lead you to miss appointments.
  • Please arrive at your stand on time.
  • Make sure you wear your exhibitor badge and security bracelet at all times to allow for easy access to the venue.
  • Please be courteous to Buyers and other Exhibitors participating in the show at all times, as your attitude will reflect on the perception of your company.

PLEASE NOTE: All efforts to advertise, demonstrate and operate an exhibition must be conducted so as not to infringe on the rights of other Exhibitors. No exhibit will be permitted to interfere with the use of other exhibits or impede access to them or the free use of the aisles. Do Not Disturb management and Borgo Egnazia reserves the right to limit and/or restrict operations, which, for any reason, might be considered objectionable, without any liability for refund and/or damage.

 

PUBLIC LIABILITY INSURANCE

ASSUMPTION OF RISK FOR EXHIBITORS AND COMPULSORY THIRD PARTY/PUBLIC LIABILITY INSURANCE

It should be understood by the Exhibitor that the nature of the facilities available, presence and circulation of large numbers of people, difficulty of effective supervision over the protection of large numbers of removable articles in stands and various other factors make it reasonable that each Exhibitor shall assume the risk of any injury, loss and/or damage to themselves or a third party. It is a requirement for Do Not Disturb exhibitors and sub-exhibitors to have a public liability insurance cover for a minimum of Euro 5 million valid in Italy for the duration of the show.

Unless you have asked us otherwise, Do Not Disturb has automatically added a Public Liability administration fee of GBP 199 to your invoice in order to ensure that you are added to the insurance policy of the show and therefore correctly covered.

This Public Liability Insurance will cover you if you or your business operation accidentally injures someone. It will also cover you if you damage third-party property while at the venue during the course of the event.

If you have any questions regarding the Public Liability Insurance, please contact donotdisturb@thisisbeyond.com.

 

RESPONSIBILITY OF CONTRACTED EXHIBITORS TOWARDS THE PROMOTION OF TRAVEL PRODUCTS

The Exhibitor shall notify Do Not Disturb of the name and contact details of each stand sharer or product intended to be displayed or promoted at the show no later than 120 days prior to the start of the Exhibition, to ensure that they conform to Do Not Disturb’s theme and show profile. Do Not Disturb is entitled to cancel the Contract if it considers, at its sole discretion, that the products or services promoted or showcased by the Exhibitor or any person sharing a stand do not fit the profile of the Exhibition and/or venue guidelines.

Do Not Disturb will always communicate with the contracted Exhibitor directly. It is the responsibility of the contracted Exhibitor to propagate all information received and to make sure that all delegates present at the show respect deadlines and the terms and conditions of the contract.

The Exhibitor shall be deemed to act as agent in respect of each stand sharer, who shall be bound by these terms accordingly. In the event that any stand sharer fails to comply with these terms or otherwise defaults in its obligations to This is Beyond, the Exhibitor shall be liable for all losses, liabilities and costs incurred by Do Not Disturb arising from such non-compliance or default.

In order to ensure a productive and safe exhibiting environment, please make sure you follow these simple guidelines. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
