The City of Detroit will serve as the host site of U.S. Travel’s 2028 IPW international inbound travel trade show (June 10-14) at Huntington Place in downtown Detroit, as well as various other sites around the city.
The IPW is the U.S. Travel Association’s biggest event with more than 90,000 pre-scheduled business appointments connecting 1,600 global travel buyers, and more than 700 travel media with several thousand U.S. travel suppliers.
As the leading inbound travel trade show, past IPWs have generated more than $5.5 billion in future travel by connecting U.S. travel exhibitors with travel buyers and media to promote their product and negotiate future business.
More than 5,000 travel professionals representing 60-plus countries are expected to participate in total. This 2028 event should dramatically increase visitation and investment in the Detroit region and be beneficial for the entire state of Michigan.
“In a historic run of success for Detroit, today marks another huge win for the city and the state of Michigan with the announcement that the U.S. Travel Association’s IPW event is coming to the Motor City in 2028,” says Claude Molinari, president and CEO of Visit Detroit.
“This event will help inspire millions of more people to visit our city, which will help generate billions of dollars in economic impact. We can’t wait to bring the world to Detroit and Detroit to the world.”
