WTM London and Travel Forward Virtual – the two-day online event of World Travel Market – will kick off on Monday, November 8, with a rich program of on-demand sessions.

WTM & TF Virtual follows on from the recent and successful WTM London and Travel Forward in-person events held at ExCeL during November 1-3, where global brands and leaders once again came together to do business and plan for the future of the travel industry.

For those who were unable to attend the live event, WTM & TF Virtual will run from 07:00-22:00 GMT to allow travel and tourism visitors to access at different times zones across the globe.

A whole host of sessions and conferences that took place during WTM London and Travel Forward in-person shows will be available on demand on the virtual platform, covering the whole spectrum of the industry.

“Not only can people meet to discuss business, or even follow up on leads they picked up at ExCeL, but can also familiarise themselves with the latest thinking and trends by tuning into the on-demand sessions,” WTM London and Travel Forward Exhibition Director Simon Press said.
