ABOUT THE SHOW
Where Travel Professionals and Possibilities Connect
The NWI Travel Show was created to bring more travel opportunities, education, and connections to Northwest Indiana. After seeing a lack of large-scale travel events and direct access to travel suppliers in the region, CS Elements Travel launched the first-ever show in 2026 to create a more accessible and community-focused travel experience.
Presented by CS Elements Travel, a Valparaiso-based agency serving the region since 2017, the show was founded by owner Tyler Stisak with the vision of connecting travelers directly with travel brands, suppliers, tourism boards, and industry professionals all in one place.
