PROGRAM
Welcome to an interactive day designed for networking between operators, local producers, and destination representatives.
The Market Place stands will be set up around the edges of the room, while the DMO’s will do their presentations from the stage.
The mingling area, with high tables and chairs, will be a relaxed space for socializing and networking.
We encourage you to engage and connect— just remember to listen when someone takes the stage!
