International Trade Convention (ITC)
A four-day networking experience held in Malta, bringing together over 800 international distributors, retailers, traders, resellers, and wholesalers.
From Concept to Success
ITC first approached Wanderlust in 2011 with the idea of creating a new style of networking in a highly competitive and fast-paced industry. What started as a trial has since transformed into a premier annual event, drawing delegates from over 50 countries. The result? An event that turns business networking into an unforgettable experience in the picturesque setting of Malta.
Far from an easy task, with 800 delegates and 66+ sponsors from across the globe, ITC is now a key event on the calendar. Wanderlust is proud to deliver exceptional results year after year.

- Catering for various dietary needs
- Handpicking Malta’s most iconic venues
- Organising transport and accommodation

‘Networking with a Difference’
Facilitating such a large-scale event, with delegates’ diverse requirements, demonstrates Wanderlust’s expertise in event management. Each year, we create an environment where attendees can network seamlessly, leading to strong business relationships and tangible outcomes.
Wanderlust has helped ITC foster an atmosphere of collaboration, resulting in delegates returning year after year. The ITC event continues to grow in size and stature, and we are proud to be a part of its success.
‘Networking with a Difference’
By curating an immersive environment, ITC truly delivers ‘Networking with a Difference.’ ITC’s success is evident in the continued positive feedback from delegates and the client, who remains thrilled with the results.
Professional, dedicated and client-focused
I have now worked with Wanderlust for over 10 years on ITC. Each year presents the challenge of creating fresh, exciting experiences while adhering to a budget and balancing the expectations of multiple sponsors. Wanderlust’s attention to detail, ability to innovate year after year, and their professional, dedicated, and client-focused team are what make the event such a success. I’m excited to see what we’ll achieve together for the next ITC.
