New Dates Set For IPW

The U.S. Travel Association has announced that its annual trade show, IPW (International Pow Wow), will next be held in Las Vegas May 10-14, 2021. IPW 2021 will be held in the newly constructed West Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center. IPW 2020 was supposed to happen in Las Vegas on May 30 but was cancelled due to the Coronavirus pandemic.

From Roger Dow

This is incredibly welcome good news amid the serious challenges facing the travel industry, the country and the world, said U.S. Travel Association President and CEO Roger Dow. Cancelling this year’s IPW was a difficult though clearly necessary call, and our future host cities came together to achieve a win-win outcome for the future of the event.

Dow continued: As we look to recover from this health emergency and the resulting economic crisis, it is fitting that we will be able to hold IPW in Las Vegas, a city that epitomizes the economic power of travel and tourism. We are deeply grateful to Chicago, which had one of the most successful IPWs in recent memory as a first-time host in 2014, for their flexibility, generosity and collaborative spirit.
