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 firmly established as the unmissable event for 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.
