Back again!  2-Day Marketplace | Are you ready to make connections to grow your LGBTQ+ business?

"The IGLTA convention is, by far, the most productive convention I attend every year because the intention and driving force of the business is the relationship both advisor and supplier build on the mutual accordance of providing a welcoming and safe environment for the LGBTQ+ traveler."

What is the IGLTA Buyer/Supplier Marketplace?

The IGLTA Buyer/Supplier Marketplace is an appointment-only trade show that matches Buyers and Suppliers for meetings based on mutual business interests and requests. Suppliers sit at designated tables and Buyers travel between appointments.

A chime signifies the beginning and end of each appointment. Due to the limited time of each appointment, this opportunity provides the Buyer and Supplier the chance to quickly meet, and discuss needs and how they may be met.   The Marketplace enables both the Buyer and Supplier the opportunity to meet many representatives and then schedule business appointments at other times through out the convention, and/or following the convention.

The appointments provide the Buyers and Suppliers with key in-person meetings to assess needs and the potential for collaboration. It's an ideal way to establish early business leads that can be followed up with in meetings throughout the convention days and beyond!
