The series of regional travel trade events are designed to connect industry suppliers and top- producing travel agents in a more intimate setting than traditional and larger trade shows.

The format provides for valuable and essential in-person interactive consultations and presentations.

Each expo will be focused on training and networking, with face-to-face interaction with agents and products.

In each city, a presentation series featuring 15-minute segments by suppliers will be followed by a trade show, dinner and prize giveaways.
