The U.S. Travel Association today announced that IPW, its annual international inbound travel trade show, will be a live in-person event held in Las Vegas September 18-22, 2021.
The September dates are revised from previously released 2021 event dates. U.S. Travel, together with sponsor Brand USA and the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority and Travel Nevada, secured later dates to provide additional time for international long-haul travel to the United States to broadly resume.
“Next year’s IPW will reunite the global travel community and be the keystone for safely rebuilding international travel to the United States,” said U.S. Travel Association President and CEO Roger Dow. “While IPW will look a bit different next year, expect it to be the turning point for the all-important inbound travel sector.”
“As the nation’s destination marketing organization, Brand USA values IPW for being the single largest gathering of the global network of stakeholders dedicated to driving travel to the USA,” said Christopher Thompson, Brand USA president and CEO.
“IPW is crucial to reviving international travel and these new dates will allow greater flexibility for attendees, ensuring the best possible experience for a successful and productive trade show.”
IPW 2021 will be held in the new West Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center. U.S. Travel plans to open registration for IPW exhibitors in mid-November. IPW buyer and media registration will open in early 2021
