5 answeredINMA Silicon Valley Study Tour 2026 runs from October 20–22, 2026.
It is held at Taj Campton Hotel, 340 Stockton Street, Campton Room, Second Floor, San Francisco, California.
The published audience is media leaders exploring Silicon Valley technology and AI who are INMA members.
It suits senior media and product leaders from news organisations who want direct access to AI and platform companies, since the stops include Otter.ai, Google's Mountain View campus, Microsoft briefings and speakers from OpenAI, Cloudflare and The New York Times. It is a guided visit rather than a working conference, so those who want deep technical training or a broad vendor marketplace would get less from it. Places are scarce, as the tour was listed as sold out with a wait list as of September 10.
Media executives on study tours like this usually dress in business casual, such as slacks or chinos with a blazer or smart shirt, which also fits the tech company campuses on the itinerary.
