IITA Growth Drives Expanded Networking Opportunities at Summit
IITA membership continues to grow—and that momentum is shaping an even stronger Summit experience for our members.
Since 2019 (pre-COVID), IITA has seen significant growth across both sides of our membership:
- Operator membership has increased by 60%, now totaling 59 company members
- Tourism Supplier and DMO membership has grown by 31%, reaching 177 Supplier/DMO members
This growth is translating directly into increased demand for meaningful connections at the IITA Summit. To date, 37 new DMO/Supplier members have already registered to attend, bringing fresh product offerings and new partnership opportunities for operators.
Expanded Power Hour Networking Appointments
To ensure members have ample opportunity to connect, the Power Hour Networking Appointments have been expanded to include a fourth group. This enhancement allows us to accommodate more participants while maintaining the quality and value of one-on-one meetings.
What the Updated Summit Schedule Looks Like
Monday and Wednesday will follow the same structure:
- A general session followed by two morning Networking Appointment Groups
- Lunch and an education/general session
- Two afternoon Networking Appointment Groups
- Fifteen-minute breaks built in between morning and afternoon appointment blocks
Tuesday will continue to focus on:
- Member Forums and Additional Education Sessions

(No networking appointments are scheduled on Tuesday)

As our association grows, so does the value of coming together in person. We look forward to a dynamic, productive Summit made possible by the continued engagement and expansion of the IITA community.
