eTravel Insiders Lounge at ITB Berlin

Recently we announced our annual Travel Massive pre-ITB launch party. If you haven’t signed up yet, check out the event page for details.

New this year at ITB Berlin, Travel Massive in partnership with Traveldudes and iambassador will also be hosting the eTravel Insiders Lounge. During the world’s biggest travel and trade show, the lounge will be the go-to place for travel media, bloggers, industry executives and professionals from March 4-7. This is a daily hangout so in between presentations, meetings and networking sessions and when you need a break from all the pitching, buying and selling join us to relax, grab a drink (or catch a much needed power nap).

The lounge will also feature, Meet the Experts. Young travel professionals including bloggers, startup creators, and tourism graduates will get a chance to meet and talk with industry experts in an informal way open each day March 4-6 from 4pm to 5pm, Stand 131 in the eTravel World (Hall 6.1)

Adventure travel, working with tour operators, product development, responsible travel, and storytelling are just some of the topics we’ll cover. Check out our list of invited industry experts who will be stopping by the lounge to answer your questions and give advice (read their detailed bios here) and other go-to events.
