Disclosure: I will be attending this year’s Travel and Adventure Show.
Ever since moving to California I have been attending the Travel and Adventure show. My first three years in Los Angeles then the past year in the Bay Area. Every year I discover and learn about new areas of California to travel too along with other “dream destinations.”
It is a GREAT way to get as much information as you can about where you want to travel to in the year ahead. Places that are local to California, but also, some destinations that are a bit further (New Zealand, anyone?)
The one thing I love about the travel shows are also the speakers they happen to bring in. This year’s line up includes: Rick Steves, author and TV host of Rick Steves’ Europe; Travel Channel’s Samantha Brown; Peter Greenberg, Emmy Award-winning investigative reporter and producer, and CBS News Travel Editor; and Patricia Schultz, best-selling author of 1,000 Places to See Before You Die. They are appearing throughout the weekend on the show’s Travel Channel Theater Stage where they will share their travel stories and unique perspectives on the topic of travel. For updated schedules and times, check online at http://www.travelshows.com. Photo opportunities and autographs are welcome following each appearance.
But on smaller stages they will also be having an array of speakers available. There’s a speaker for everyone. If that’s not enough for you, there’s also a stage dedicated to cooking demonstrations to bring out those tastes of travel we just love.
And of course, no travel show is complete without a bit of Cultural Entertainment. The Global Beats Stage where dance troupes entertain crowds with amazing cultural dance performances. Some performances are interactive as the dancers invite attendees on stage to learn some basic dance steps. Guests can also jump on a Segway, go rock climbing, and see animals from the Fresno Zoo as part of the family-friendly activities at the expo.
The 2015 Bay Area Travel & Adventure Show takes place Saturday, February 7 from 10am to 5pm and Sunday, February 8 from 11am to 4pm at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Halls B, C, and D.
