The Windy City is buzzing as IPW 2025 kicks off in style—and the Irish travel trade is right at the heart of it!
Last night’s spectacular launch event set the tone for what promises to be a record-breaking week. Mr. Travelbiz himself, Don Shearer, was on the ground to capture all the magical moments – before joining over 5,000 delegates, including 1,800+ global buyers and 500+ media pros from more than 70 countries at McCormick Place, the largest convention centre in North America.
From neighborhood showcases to big-brand travel meetings, this is where the future of U.S. inbound travel is being shaped—and Ireland is proudly in the mix!
