I’ve been personally attending the TDS America Summit the last three years and this conference is the best I’ve ever been to. If you have a startup, I’d suggest that you attend. On average I come back with 12-20 new relationships/contacts and I normally cement 1-2 deals from these contacts over the next 6 months following the conference.

TravelStartups.co is a media partner of the TDS America conference and we will have a media booth on-site at the conference for interviewing travel startup founders and travel CEO’s. If you pitch your startup at the innovation awards I’ll guarantee to do a video interview with you if you want and we will release the video interview as part of the Travel Startup Founders Series where I interview the leading founders and CEOs. I publish the interview as a blog post and distribute to our 4,000 subscriber base. This can be great PR for you and your travel startup.
