An annual event outside London, bringing together travel media from across the UK & Ireland, with PR representatives from all over the world.
In 2024, we are taking the event to fabulous Glasgow!!
Great couple of days in Glasgow!
Hosted by Glasgow Life, Glasgow Convention Bureau and the Radisson Blu in Glasgow, Media Getaway 2024 will give PR representatives of global travel brands the chance to get away with travel media for a 2-day event, with plenty of ways to meet through formal and informal networking opportunities.
The event will see people attending from all over the UK & Ireland, including media not usually encountered at a London event.
Let Bailie Christie tell you why you should be joining us in Glasgow this June!
The Schedule
The event will commence with a civic reception hosted by The Rt Hon The Lord Provost of Glasgow in the City Chambers on 24th June, where they will welcome everyone to the city. This will be followed by a further event at The Social Hub, which will be co-hosted by Glasgow Life. This whole evening will give all delegates their first opportunity to mingle with the other attendees.
On 25th June, all delegates will take part in the CONNECTION ZONE, a media marketplace where travel companies sit at tables and host a series of 1-1 meetings with attending media, all of which are set up through a dedicated virtual platform created for the event.
This will be followed by a drinks reception in the evening at the voco Grand Central Glasgow, before we all hit the streets to enjoy the night life.
On 26th June media will enjoy trips around Glasgow, visiting some of Glasgow Life’s key partners. These trips are available for all attendees, if they want to stay and enjoy the city’s hospitality.
Who will be there?
Travel media from across the UK & Ireland and PR representatives from all over the world.
Many of our attendees don’t attend events in London so there are plenty of connections to be made.
