The Event Connecting Travel Brands with the Media

TravMedia's International Media Marketplace (IMM) is the leading global networking event connecting the travel industry with editors, journalists, broadcasters, and influencers. Celebrating its 12th year in 2024, IMM is the unmissable annual event for travel media and PR professionals 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, FAM trips, and features in a day. Attendees also love the show for unrivaled relationship-building and networking opportunities. We look forward to welcoming you to Javits Center, NYC, in January!

Targeted, Pre-Booked Meetings

Prescheduled meetings are fundamental to IMM’s success. Meetings Manager's powerful algorithm enables exhibitors to pre-book 24 one-on-one appointments with the USA and Canada's premier travel media.

Outstanding Networking Opportunities

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

The Place for Professional Development

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