ATLANTA (16 March 2021)— The International LGBTQ+ Travel Association has opened registration for its 37th Global Convention, set for 8-11 September at the W Atlanta-Midtown. IGLTA’s premier event makes its live return in one of the most LGBTQ+ welcoming cities in the United States.

With so many businesses struggling to move forward, the program will serve as an inspiration for recovery, focusing on the resilient LGBTQ+ travel segment and the importance of diversity, equity and inclusion.”

Registration includes:

  • Education sessions focused on diversity and marketing strategies
  • Daily networking opportunities
  • Media Networking Event uniting attendees with global media outlets and influencers that promote LGBTQ+ welcoming travel

On 8 September, to kick off the networking, IGLTA will present a Buyer/Supplier Marketplace with 1-to-1 appointments to enhance business connections throughout the conference. On 10 September, Voyage, the IGLTA Foundation’s annual fundraiser, will take place in the Delta Flight Museum, courtesy of Delta Air Lines and the ATL Airport District CVB.
