The flagship Georgian Tourism Summit returns for 2026 – and it's heading to the capital. On November 24–25, 2026, Tourister will take over Expo Georgia, Pavilion 3 in Tbilisi for two days of keynotes, workshops, AI-powered networking and an exhibition floor built for real business.
After the success of the 2025 Batumi edition – which gathered 400+ attendees, 33 speakers and delivered more than 200 AI-matchmade meetings – the move to Tbilisi marks the summit's next step: a bigger stage, a broader international line-up, and an expanded networking platform.
What's new for 2026
This year's programme leans harder into the themes reshaping the industry, with headline brands joining the conversation and a redesigned networking experience at its core.
- A larger main stage with global headline speakers
- An upgraded AI matchmaking platform guaranteeing 15+ meetings per delegate
- A dedicated small-business exhibition space
- Hands-on company workshops across two tracks each day
"Tbilisi gives us the scale and the audience to make Tourister the must-attend tourism event in the region."
Why it matters
For delegates, the format is built around outcomes – 75% of attendees are decision-makers, and the matchmaking platform turns two days of meetings into qualified leads. For sponsors and partners, it's direct access to the people shaping tourism across Georgia and beyond.
