The Event Connecting Travel Brands with the Media

TravMedia's IMM (International Media Marketplace) is the leading global networking event connecting the travel industry with editors, journalists, broadcasters and influencers. Celebrating its 13th year in 2025, IMM is firmly established as the unmissable event for travel media and PRs to connect and nurture relationships.

Prescheduled meetings between exhibitors and media are IMM’s cornerstone. At IMM, you can pitch a year's worth of stories, famil trips and features in a day. Attendees also love the show for unrivalled relationship building and networking opportunities. We look forward to welcoming you at ICC Sydney in February!

Targeted, Pre-Booked Meetings

Prescheduled meetings are fundamental to IMM’s success. Meetings Manager’s powerful algorithm enables exhibitors to pre-book 22 one-on-one appointments with Australia and New Zealand's premier travel media.

Outstanding Networking Opportunities

From sponsored lunches to cocktail functions, IMM Australia includes over 7.5 hours of open networking across two days for exhibitors and media to connect, socialise and build lasting relationships.

The Place for Professional Development

The TravMedia Summit on day one of IMM is the conference for travel PRs, editors and writers to gain valuable insights from the industry's most influential leaders and discuss the trends and challenges affecting our industry.

IMM is the biggest travel media event in Australia, so to be able to headline sponsor, we are exposing our brand to journalists and the travel industry.

There is no other experience like IMM, I can’t think of another entity that has that many journalists in one space at one time.

PR and Media coverage is critically important for our destination. IMM is a fantastic way of getting our message out there and really showcasing Townsville North Queensland to the right audiences.

IMM is amazing, because the event is one-of-a-kind, where media and brands come together on such a large scale. There is no other event out there like this in Asia-Pacific.

Coming back every year is really worthwhile because the travel industry changes every year. There are new things to learn, it's interesting to hear what people have been doing and how they are reacting to changes in the industry. Connecting with the industry in one place saves me a lot of time.
