Created and organized by Baxter Media – Canada’s most trusted travel trade publisher — TravelPress Live! is a groundbreaking gathering that’s a festival of ideas, learning and collaboration that will bring together travel advisors, suppliers and industry leaders at Toronto’s iconic Evergreen Brick Works.
“For more than 60 years, Baxter Media has had a history of innovation – the style and voice of our publications; our early adoption of new technologies; our willingness to try new things that move our business forward in serving the needs of our readers and partners,” observed Mitchell McClung, Publisher, Baxter Media.
And McClung continued:“Embracing change and taking a leadership role has always been part of our DNA. And we’re inviting the industry to embrace that change with us at TravelPress Live! as we reimagine how the industry community meets to do business.”
Over two days, travel professionals will explore new ideas at TED-style talks; spend some time in the Culinary lounges that will offer a chance to taste the flavours of the world; participate in Fireside conversations that delve deeper into industry issues; immersive experiences will highlight creativity, innovation and connection; and there will definitely be some surprises to amaze and entertain.
McClung explained that: “TravelPress Live! is a new vision of the traditional trade show format. The goal is to capture the passion of this industry in real time and create an environment that encourages thoughtful, forward-thinking conversations and, at the same time, amazes and surprises the travel professionals attending.”
