New dates announced for IPW 2021 in Las Vegas
The US Travel Association announced that IPW, its annual international inbound travel trade show, will be a live, in-person event held in Las Vegas from September 18 to 22, 2021. The September dates are revised from previously released 2021 event dates. US Travel, together with premier sponsor Brand USA and our hosts, 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 US 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. "We are grateful for the support and flexibility of our many sponsors and attendees, both in the U.S. and around the world, and we can’t wait to see everyone in Las Vegas next September." US Travel plans to open registration for IPW exhibitors in mid-November. IPW buyer and media registration will open in early 2021.
