After successfully hosting IPW 2019, Anaheim will welcome international delegates to the Southern Californian city again in 2030 from 1-5 June for U.S. Travel’s IPW – the leading international inbound travel trade show and the largest generator of travel to the United States.
The annual IPW conference facilitates 90,000-plus appointments, connecting 1,600 global travel buyers and media with several thousand US travel suppliers.
More than 5,000 travel professionals attend IPW, representing more than 60 countries – including Australia and New Zealand. Past IPWs have generated more than USD$5.5 billion in future travel to the US.
U.S. Travel Association President & CEO Geoff Freeman said: “We are excited to return U.S. Travel’s IPW to Anaheim, given its success in hosting this event and the city’s variety of new experiences for global travellers,” he said.
“Hosting IPW will boost the Anaheim economy by a projected USD$550 million in new inbound traveller spending in the three years following this event.”
Visit California President & CEO Caroline Beteta added: “We’re thrilled to welcome IPW back and spotlight our abundance of world-class experiences and fun-loving culture.”
“California is the ultimate playground for vacation dreamers and there’s no better place to experience that than in Anaheim.”
The area continues to transform with ongoing developments, which will reflect a new destination in time for IPW 2030.
The 2030 event will be staged at several venues throughout the city, including the Anaheim Convention Center, Disneyland Resort, ocV!BE and the OC River Walk.
Visit Anaheim Senior Vice President of Operations Christina Dawson said: “We are honoured and thrilled to have been selected to host IPW in 2030.”
“We eagerly anticipate the opportunity to welcome the world and showcase the unique experiences our destination has to offer.”
Los Angeles will host IPW 2024 from May 3-7 followed by future host cities Chicago (2025), Greater Fort Lauderdale (2026), New Orleans (2027), Detroit (2028) and Denver (2029).
