Our story

1-featuredimage

For more than 20 years, TravelTech Show has been at the heart of Europe’s travel technology community. What began as Travel Technology Europe has evolved into the continent’s only dedicated travel technology exhibition — connecting senior buyers and suppliers who are shaping the future of travel.

Today, backed by Phocuswright and Northstar Travel Group, TravelTech Show continues to be a trusted platform for discovery, innovation and lasting partnerships.
