World Travel Market London 2017

While WTM runs from 6 – 8 November this year, the ‘WTM period’ actually goes a fair bit longer. This year looks to be an especially busy one, so we thought we’d do a quick summary of what Traverse is up to at and around the event, as well as try and round up all of the social events that are relevant to digital influencers and those that work with them.

 

Check out WTM’s video about why London is the perfect location and also our own video with WTM’s Paul Nelson sharing tips about how to get the most out of the event.

 

 

Traverse Mingle

For the fifth year in a row, we’ll be holding Traverse Mingle on the Friday before WTM. This year’s event is already a sell-out, taking place at WeWork Waterhouse Square as the evening gets a fresh feel. Expect lots of fun, games, drinks food and networking. You can register for the waitlist now, with tickets costing £10 and all profits going to the fantastic Hackney Pirates charity.

 

Evening Influencer Events at WTM

World Travel Market has a whole host of evening events, so many in fact that it’s sometimes difficult to keep track. Thankfully, we’ve put together all the details of influencer events below so you’ve got a quick overview.

Starting with Mingle, they carry on through WTM, with events in the days and evenings at The ExCel and across London. We have tried to include as many of the evening events that are relevant for travel influencers up until 17 November, for those sticking around for a few weeks.
