Our Philosophy
I Was There brings together luxury resorts in the Maldives and luxury travel designers in an intimate one-day event hosted at a Maldivian luxury resort. Under the stars, amidst music, we celebrate a story of shared achievement — a proud moment to remember long after the last song fades.
Maldives Culture Driven Experiences
Whether breaking the ice over a game of Ohvalhu (mancala) or challenging colleagues to Bashi, every interaction is anchored in Maldives culture. Connections are formed not over business cards, but through shared experiences and genuine engagement.
Pre-Event Flow
To ensure every conversation moves straight into opportunity, I Was There provides full pre-event familiarisation. Arrive not as strangers, but as future partners who already understand one another.

Sunset Soirée
As the sun sets over the lagoon, conversations continue under a canopy of stars.
Music, light and sea breeze combine into a single, unforgettable evening.
When it’s over, one sentiment will echo across the industry:
I was there.
