TravelCon will be on April 29th-May 1st, 2022 as well as will function pre- as well as post-event trips, a scavenger hunt, composing as well as picture workshops, as well as in-depth, actionable talks.

Today, I want to share a few of the details, our very first round of speakers, as well as ticket sign-up information.

What can you expect?

This year, we’re making some modifications as well as improving on what we’ve already built. First, we’re adding an market track for DMOs as well as pr brands to ensure that they can discover while at the event too. Second, we’re decreasing the number of panels we have to ensure that there is less talk as well as much more actionable suggestions on exactly how to enhance your business. Third, we’re getting rid of our second-night celebration so you can spend much more time networking at our niche meet-ups as well as checking out the city.
