I'm New to IPW

U.S. Travel Association’s International Pow Wow (IPW) is the travel industry's premier international marketplace and the largest generator of travel to the U.S. - it is NOT a typical trade show.

Business Meeting at International Pow Wow

In just three days of intensive pre-scheduled business appointments, more than 1,000 U.S. travel organizations from every region of the USA (representing all industry category components), and more than 1,200 international and domestic buyers from more than 70 countries conduct business negotiations that result in the generation of over $3.5 billion in future Visit USA travel.

IPW is also an opportunity for unique news coverage for U.S. travel destinations and products. On average, nearly 500 travel journalists from over 40 countries attend IPW each year. Great opportunities exist for destination and product articles to appear in major international trade and consumer publications.
