Celebrating its 12th year in 2024, IMM is firmly established as the leading global networking event dedicated to connecting the travel industry with editors, journalists, broadcasters and influencers. It is unrivalled for providing opportunities for PRs and the media to network, collaborate, and nurture relationships.
Pre-scheduled meetings between brands and media are IMM’s cornerstone, where exhibitors can pitch a year's worth of stories, press trips and features over just two days. Attendees also love the show for unrivalled relationship building and networking opportunities at every touch point, including breakfasts, lunches and the IMM Evening Drinks Party.
IMM 2024 will incorporate The TravMedia Summit for the first time in the UK when exhibitors will spend the first half of day one attending panel discussions and keynote sessions led by travel editors and PR thought-leaders.
Book up to 36 meetings per delegate from your branded shell scheme exhibition stand. Exhibitors with two delegates can book up to double the meetings.

“I’ve been to every IMM since it started. I come back every year as it’s a great way to connect with lots of destinations and brands in one place.”
“To anyone considering attending IMM, I would say absolutely do it. It’s an invaluable way to make connections with travel writers over two days that would otherwise take months.”
“One of the things IMM gives me which other shows don’t is a sense of purpose. I’m coming here for specific reasons and getting specific outcomes. I will go back and commission real stories as a result.”
“IMM is one of the most effective events for me to meet the media. It’s super intense, but it’s very productive. I absolutely love it.”
“IMM is great for putting names to faces and having an opportunity to hear the going’s on from the other side of the industry.”
“This is the second time sponsoring the breakfast at IMM. We’ve met so many people from media to influencers. We can’t believe the amount of great contacts we’ve made.”
“I come to IMM because it is a really efficient way of meetings lots of different people, catching up with colleagues, finding out what’s new, and getting new story ideas from that invaluable one-to-one engagement that you don’t get over email.”
“We've had really great, thought provoking conversations on new angles we can feature and getting new contacts has been invaluable for us. We'll definitely be back next year.”
“IMM's got lots to offer for someone like me who wants to meet PRs, fellow journalists and influencers. They are all here so it’s a great space to be in. At IMM there is always a little bit of magic that leaps out!”
“IMM offers great value for money. I had lots of great meetings with editors, freelancers, bloggers and influencers. It’s so varied – it’s great!”
“IMM is an effective, essential event, really good fun and a really nice way to connect with the travel industry.”
“I’ve always been too busy to come to IMM but this time I made it and my eyes are opened. I’m going to be back next year..”
“IMM is brilliant. We get to meet with so many journalists and so many interested people. 56 appointments over two days. Where else can you get that?”
“I personally find IMM so useful and it’s always in my diary. There is diversity in the exhibitors, PRs, destinations and experiences. I’d say to any travel writer or editor, they really should come along.”
“IMM is the premier conference to connect destinations to travel journalists.”
“I would recommend IMM to journalists as a way to network, meet tourist boards and other writers, and leave at the end of the day with a notebook full of story ideas.”
“We have been overwhelmed with how many people were at IMM. We’ve had 59 media in two days and managed to speak to people between meetings as well. Really pleased.”
“Stories and Community. Those are the two reasons I come to IMM. It’s fast and invariably good for quality stories. I come away with 10 stories I know I can sell. I love it”
“What I really like about IMM is there are plenty of opportunities for us to get organised before the event so when we come, our time is maximised. The online booking system allows you to meet lots of people all in one day.”
“What's unique about IMM is its breadth of contacts and huge networks that it has. I think it's the most renowned travel networking event in the UK which is brilliant to be part of.”
“I enjoyed IMM - and the sessions were brilliant too! I will be back next year!”
“IMM gives us a really good platform to meet people that we would struggle to meet otherwise, it gives us access to so many tourism boards and PR professionals.”
“IMM is key because it is the biggest event for us in terms of meeting with the media.”
