Why host a Travel Massive event?

Hosting events in our community are a fun and rewarding way to create connections.

Benefits of hosting events include making a positive impact in travel, growing your network, making new international friends, and developing your leadership skills.

Travel Massive events can be coffee meetups, travel talks, workshops, networking events, or local tours — it’s up to you as the event organiser to pick the topic, venue, and format! Attendance can range from 5 to 200 people, depending on your event.

Hosting an event in our community is on a volunteer, not-for-profit basis for the purposes of sharing knowledge about travel and tourism.

Event Hosting Rules

If you organise or host a Travel Massive event, you agree to:

• Be professional. As the event host you must be organized, responsive, and ethical in the arrangement, communication, and hosting of your event.
• Your event must uphold our values and share our mission to create the future of travel through the sharing of ideas, knowledge, and building connections.
• Promote your event. Share your event with your network and promote it on your social media. Spread the word about your meetup and invite your friends!
• Attend your event. You must be committed to attending your event, unless there are exceptional circumstances. Have a back-up plan if you need to postpone.
• Capture your event. You must appoint an event photographer (or yourself) and document your event in a short write-up on your social media, for us to share.

A successful event requires good organizing and social skills. We recommend co-hosting your event with a reliable friend or colleague to share the responsibilities.

We reserve the right to cancel your event if it does not meet these standards.
