Travel. Learn. Connect.
When asked in each year's follow-up survey to all attendees "Why do you attend the convention?" the number one answer is NETWORKING!
Below you'll find all of the scheduled opportunities to CONNECT at this year's convention.
Participating in the Buyer/Supplier Marketplace is where you can CONNECT with the right people to grow your LGBTQ+ business globally.
IGLTA’s Buyer/Supplier Marketplace is produced in collaboration with ASTA!
The IGLTA Buyer/Supplier Marketplace is an appointment-only trade show that matches Buyers and Suppliers for meetings based on mutual business interests and requests. Suppliers sit at designated tables and Buyers travel between appointments. Due to the limited time of each appointment, this opportunity provides the Buyer and Supplier the chance to quickly meet, discuss needs and how they may collaborate. This is not the time to actually sit down and conduct business. The Marketplace enables both the Buyer and Supplier the opportunity to meet many representatives and then schedule business appointments at other times throughout the convention, and/or following the convention. We continue to collaborate with Jacobs Media Group, but will launch our marketplace partnership with JMG in Milan (26-29 October 2022).
BUYERS receive hosted accommodations/registration and must apply and be approved to participate.
Suppliers have the option to register for the full convention or the Marketplace only.

Be sure to check-in with the Convention Registration Desk on site for the final details. Georgia Aquarium safety measures.
