In response to COVID-19, TravMedia announces the launch of the inaugural IMM (International Media Marketplace) Virtual France, Monaco & Benelux on 6 and 7 October 2020.
TravMedia’s International Media Marketplace is the travel industry’s leading media networking event connecting travel and tourism brands with Europe’s top-tier media titles. This breakthrough program provides destinations, hotels, and operators to develop meaningful relationships with key media contacts, all through the comfort of their own computer.
Pivoting to become IMM Virtual, this two-day virtual event will enable the industry to reboot travel through 16, pre-scheduled, one-on-one appointments with top travel journalists, editors, and broadcasters to discuss their news, opening plans, and pitch post-coronavirus stories.
IMM Virtual will offer the opportunity for journalists to fill their notebooks with ideas, stories, and contacts in this new post-COVID world. It will enable them to plan their next years’ worth of stories, features, and press trips without leaving their offices. Media attendees will have the opportunity to meet some of the world’s biggest travel brands from hotels, cruise companies, tour operators, and tourist boards to hear how they’ve combated coronavirus and their plans to promote their products post COVID-19.
