Travel & Adventure Show 2019

The 2019 Travel and Adventure Show made it's Boston debut on February 11th and 12th. The show took place in the Hynes Convention Center and brought with it vacation options, travel keynote speakers including Samantha Brown, and family friendly experiences. One of those experiences was the ability to ride a camel named Eli. Eli, a rescue camel from Nebraska, was much obliged to give participants a "camel's eye view" of the show!

The Travel and Adventure Show takes place in a variety of cities including Philadelphia, Chicago, and Los Angeles. The show has been running for many years in other cities and made it's inaugural Boston visit this year.

Educational seminars abounded and brought travel inspiration for those with a case of wanderlust. For those who are active duty military, the show offered a free ticket along with four complimentary tickets for family members.

Here's to more travel and adventure than your 2019 can possibly contain!

The other tenets of Inbound: endless inspiration, uproarious entertainment, and human connections. Networking opportunities also abounded as there was an #Inboundsolo Happy Hour for mixing and mingling.
