Building the Future of Travel
👋 Building in Travel? This is your room
Presented by Travel Massive SF and the Travel Tech Association.
Founders landing their first 100 customers.
Operators testing new tools.
Creators growing travel audiences.
Investors looking at what’s next.
Travel is adventurous.
Building inside it? Even more so.
🎤 Live, interactive panel + audience discussion
🚀 Travel founders, operators, creators & investors in one room
🤝 High-signal networking (not a pitch night — but investors will be there)
🍷 Beer & wine included
⚡ The Real Talk
It’s not frictionless.
Systems that don’t connect
Data that doesn’t flow
Booking platforms that don’t play nicely
Integrations that eat your roadmap
Fundraising that moves slower than your ambition
So we’re asking:
What would make building in travel faster, smarter, more scalable — and actually relevant?
Because speed doesn’t matter if what’s being built doesn’t solve real problems.
Not building software? Perfect.
Some of the most important voices in the room are the ones running tours, managing operations, or creating travel experiences every day.
This is your chance to help shape what gets built next.
🎤 The Conversation
Moderated by Laura Chadwick, President & CEO of the Travel Tech Association.
Featuring travel tech founders + active investors building and backing companies in the space.
Expect:
Real examples from founders in the trenches
Honest talk about early customers & funding
Where investors see opportunity
Open audience questions throughout
This isn’t a keynote.
It’s interactive.
It’s candid.
It’s built for the room.
🧭 Who Should Attend
Travel tech founders & startup teams
Investors exploring the space
Tour operators & experience businesses
Travel creators & media professionals
Anyone building something that touches travel
Even if you’re not launching a startup, this affects the tools you use and where the industry goes next.
And yes — travel-focused investors will be in the room.
It’s not a pitch night. But it’s a room worth showing up for.
