Also included in the price of admission is access to dozens of inspirational, educational and culturally focused sessions on five stages located right on the show floor, along with hands-on activities fit for the whole family. 

One of the highlights of the Chicago Travel & Adventure Show is the opportunity to meet and gain inspiration from the world’s top travel experts and celebrities as they present seminars and answer questions over the two-day event. Speaking on the Travel Theater are: 

•   CBS News Travel Editor Peter Greenberg

  At the popular Savvy Traveler Theater, visitors will interact with travel experts on subjects ranging from packing and travel technology, to maximizing credit card reward points and what to do if disaster strikes while traveling.     

The Destination Theater, sponsored by AAA, is where travelers will receive destination-specific information from local experts containing information on when to go, how to get there, what to see and local, off the beaten path attractions from destinations such as Arizona, Australia and Canada. 

The Taste of Travel Theater highlights top chefs who present live cooking demonstrations right on the show floor. Featuring cuisines from around the world, guests will have the opportunity to taste samples and get a full cultural experience in a stadium-seating styled theater. 

At the Global Beats Stage, attendees can feel the beat and experience the rhythm of cultural dances and performances during more than 20 presentations throughout the weekend. 

Attending the Chicago Travel & Adventure Show is an adventure in and of itself and presents hands-on activities suitable for the whole family. Guests can get their picture taken in their favorite destination at the Green Screen, climb a rock wall and ride a live camel, all under one roof. 

“We are thrilled to return to Chicago for our 13th year to showcase the most up to date and exciting travel opportunities from around the world,” said John Golicz, CEO of the Travel and Adventure Show. “We could not put on such an expansive show without the support of our sponsors, AAA, Arizona Office of Tourism and Rick Steves’ Europe.”
