MATPRA Media Marketplace

MATPRA Media Marketplace Host: Staunton, Virginia

The MATPRA Media Marketplace is a great opportunity for both PR professionals and travel journalists to get together and discuss story ideas, arrange visits to our destinations and talk about what’s new in our backyards.

2027 agenda to come.

 

  • Staunton, Virginia

    Staunton, Virginia, has earned its reputation as the Mid-Atlantic’s Small City for Creatives. In this walkable corner of the Shenandoah Valley, Shakespeare takes the stage, presidential history invites a closer look, centuries of cultural exchange come to life, and Virginia’s only scenic train carries the story into the landscape. Somehow, the magic becomes even more vivid in the in-between with half a dozen bookstores, intentional dining, an award-winning Main Street, and a homegrown annual festival that welcomes more than 30,000 wizards. At MATPRA Marketplace 2027, Hotel 24 South puts you in the heart of it all just steps from your next conversation, discovery, or story.
