WHY IT MATTERS
IPW is the U.S. Travel Association's annual inbound travel marketplace where international buyers, media and U.S. travel suppliers convene to build business relationships. The event functions as a key pipeline-builder, with conversations typically converting to bookings two to three years after the event. Attendees—including DMOs, hotels and travel companies—report competitive advantage from participation, with 86% of exhibitors and 87% of buyers citing measurable edge over non-attendees. The format emphasizes scheduled appointments and curated networking alongside destination discovery, making it essential for stakeholders seeking to access global demand and secure long-term bookings.
