Following on the tail end of the 2026 ISHOF Induction Ceremonies, ISHOF has been attending U.S. Travel’s IPW ~ which is the world’s premier international inbound travel trade show. It acts as a massive global marketplace where international buyers, U.S. travel suppliers, and media connect to promote and book future travel to the United States. It just happened to be in Fort Lauderdale, starting the day after the 61st Annual Honoree Induction ended. Lucky us!
ISHOF was a huge hit at IPW as our Chairman of the Board, Bill Kent, came up with the Mermaid idea! “Who doesn’t love a mermaid?” Bill said early on in the process. And he was right! People were literally waiting in line up to take photos with our beautiful mermaid!
“We have had an incredible two days at the IPW Conference and today is the final day to visit us at booth 2641!” says Devin Ginas, ISHOF Marketing, Fundraising and Event Manager. “If you are attending the conference, please stop by to say hello, take a photo with our fabulous ISHOF mermaid, Heather Geraci and learn about the future of ISHOF and the fabulous new Water District! We have loved connecting with so many people from around the world and cannot wait continuing to make a splash today!”
