Our annual event, held during National Travel & Tourism Week, elevates the value travel and tourism holds for the economy, businesses and the personal wellbeing of our industry professionals.

Our agenda includes Association and legislative updates, the latest tourism industry statistics, trends and impact, along with special recognition for Anthony Minick for his years of service to the tourism industry and a tribute to Joe Simonetta.
