The Travel & Adventure Show Series was founded in 2003 by John Golicz, originally as a business-to-consumer travel event. Over the years it has grown into what the organizer describes as the largest and fastest-growing travel show series in the United States, expanding to a multi-city national footprint. The series now takes place in roughly ten major U.S. markets each year, including Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Los Angeles, New York, Phoenix, Seattle, South Florida, the Bay Area, and Washington, D.C. In 2025 the shows moved to fully digital ticketing, admissions, and lead retrieval via smartphones. The Travel & Adventure Show Series is a division of Marketplace Events, North America's leading consumer and trade show organizer.
