Connecting regional BDM’s with NEW Family & Multi-Generational specialists in their local markets through a turnkey engaging Virtual RoadShow experience.
Produced by Travel Relations LLC, owners of taCONNECT, and Insider Travel Report (ITR), our Family Vacations Virtual RoadShow are four consecutive daily events, Monday - Thursday, for three hours per day. The theme panel sessions do not change, only the attendees and Exhibitor “Pitch” & collateral material.
Each day draws travel advisor attendance, targeted by four geographical markets (in PT/MT, ET, CT, Canada) and sales specialty (Family / Multi-Generational Travel). The benefit is a more focused dialog based on the travel advisor’s physical location and sales specialty. Exhibitors can change out booth documents and staff as needed per day.
We are limiting each RoadShow to ONLY 30 partners, creating high engagement and meaningful meetings.
We showcase Family specialists that are 100% guaranteed NEW leads and match them up for 1:1 pre-qualified meetings.
We deliver all specialists (LEADS), complete with full contact and business intel and engagement analytics.
TRADE TARGET AUDIENCE:
FAMILY / MULTI-GENERATIONAL SPECIALISTS - 56,858
representing $28.8 Billion in personal sales.

INVEST IN INNOVATION
What makes our virtual events unique among all others in the past are:
-
Hyper-targeted specialist marketing to bring in ONLY the “best-of-the-best” QUALIFIED attendees that match the events theme.
-
SmartMatch appointment technology to deliver guaranteed NEW leads for exhibitors and more meaningful conversations.
-
Direct data-connection to a back-end database management (taCONNECT CRM) system for turnkey data-collection and immediate email follow-up.
SMARTMATCH TECHNOLOGY
SmartMatch is taCONNECT’s proprietary appointment-based technology that can identify an attendee that is not in the exhibitors travel advisor database, but who meets all the exhibitors targeted specialty interests. SmartMatch recommends the travel advisors to schedule visits or meetings at an exhibitors booth. SmartMatch also works for the Exhibitor’s booth staff, who will also see travel advisors that they should meet with as well. All meetings are NEW leads and are given to the exhibitors with very rich specializations and travel interest data. This is 100% ROI!
