HIGHLIGHTS THE ARTS & TOURISM SUMMIT ON EDI

On August 11 & 12, the Council and Discover hosted the Arts & Tourism Summit on Equity, Diversity and Inclusion at the Palm Beach County Convention Center. With over 150 professionals from the arts and tourism industries in attendance, the two-day event was a tremendous success.

The event culminated with the announcement of the Palm Beaches Diversity Challenge, a six-month long program that will challenge community leaders and nonprofit organizations to widen the pipeline to leadership for people of color, and develop strong relationships with marginalized communities. The Cultural Council and Discover will be covering the costs for 10 organizations to complete this program starting in October 2021. Applications were open August 16-31. The announcement of the 10 organizations accepted into the program to participate in this cohort will be announced via email in September.

ADVERTISING

The Council’s advertising efforts continued to promote cultural destination brand creative (Where Culture Always Shines) in August with audience targets in major drive markets. The media plan is focused on digital media with some VISIT FLORIDA co-op.

The Council also worked with its advertising agency in August to approve creative for the FY22 fly market campaign, in addition to building and approving the FY22 marketing plan.

PR

The Council worked with its PR agency to gather information from cultural organizations on weekend getaway activities for a press release and pitch effort in August. The press release featured six organizations, highlighting the lineup of weekend activities in The Palm Beaches. The agency conducted national outreach with plans to continue pitch efforts featuring these programs where applicable.

SOCIAL MEDIA

The Council worked with its PR agency’s social media team to promote The Palm Beaches Restaurant Week from Aug. 16-31 with a sweepstakes on Instagram. To participate, users had to follow both the Council and The Palm Beaches on Instagram and use #palmbeachculture to enter the sweepstakes. The winner received a gift certificate to a participating restaurant and a pair of tickets to a nearby cultural venue. The results: • • • • •

Sports-Development Sports Development Executive Summary In FY 21, the Palm Beach County Sports Commission (PBCSC) is deploying an aggressive sales and sports development effort to grow the number of sports tourisms generating events taking place in The Palm Beaches. The PBCSC continues to cultivate relationships with event owners, as well as identify, solicit, secure and retain sports events to grow room night actualization. Below is a recap of sports development efforts that have taken place during the month of July in FY 21.

Team USA Baseball Wins Silver in Tokyo!

Road to Tokyo Began in The Palm Beaches WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- Team USA has won the silver medal for baseball at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 following a 2-0 defeat to Japan in the finals at Yokohama Baseball Stadium on Saturday. The U.S. qualified for the Olympics in an eight-nation tournament held in part in The Palm Beaches.

For the Americans, the road to Tokyo began in The Palm Beaches. Earlier this summer, the Palm Beach County Sports Commission hosted the Baseball Americas Qualifier for the XXXII Olympiad at the Ballpark of the Palm Beaches in West Palm Beach. Eight national teams, including the U.S., Dominican Republic, Venezuela, Nicaragua, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Canada, and Colombia, competed for one spot in this summer’s Olympics. The U.S. earned their spot in Tokyo after an impressive 5-0 run.

The home for the Baseball Americas Qualifier was Palm Beach County’s newest professional baseball facility, the Ballpark of the Palm Beaches. Two recent World Series champions, the Houston Astros (2017) and Washington Nationals (2019) call the Ballpark home each year for their Major League Baseball Spring Training games. Many elite baseball events have also been played at the park including the Perfect Game USA 14U Florida Showcase, Baseball Canada Junior Nationals, Palm Beach Classic, and the World Comes to The Palm Beaches.

The ballpark contains a total of 13 MLB fields and five multipurpose athletic fields which are covered in beautiful Bermuda grass and cater to soccer, lacrosse, football, rugby, and more. Among the eclectic events that the venue has hosted are Battlepark Mixed Martial Arts, SoFlo Turkey Shootout in lacrosse, The Palm Beach Cup in soccer, and Sunshine Games Ultimate Frisbee.

The journey to an Olympic medal in Tokyo saw the Americans battle with the world’s best baseball teams. Playing out of Group B against Israel and South Korea, the U.S. emerged undefeated after allowing just three runs in two games. The team’s first taste of adversity came in the knockout stage when they fell 7-6 to Japan. The Olympic baseball tournament employs a double elimination system which allowed the U.S. to keep their gold medal dreams alive in a win-or-go-home game versus the Dominican Republic. The U.S. pulled out a tight 3-1 win and subsequently trounced South Korea 7-2 to earn a second chance at playing Japan.

In Saturday's action, five Japanese pitchers combined for a six-hit shutout. The win marks Japan's first gold medal and fourth overall Olympic baseball medal. The United States adds a silver medal to an all-time baseball medal count of four.

Saturday’s final marked the fourth time the U.S. played in an Olympic gold medal game in its history (1984, 1988, 2000), having won gold in the two most recent appearances.

Additionally, Team USA’s Eddy Alvarez became just the sixth athlete all-time to win an Olympic medal in both the Summer and Winter Games. He is just the third American athlete to achieve the feat, following Eddie Egan (1920, 1932) and Lauryn Williams (2004, 2012, 2014). Alvarez won a silver medal in men’s short track speed skating in 2014.

Palm Beach County Sports Commission to Host Two NAIA Women's Volleyball Invitationals WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- The Palm Beach County Sports Commission and Keiser University have partnered to host two season-opening NAIA women’s volleyball events this month at Keiser University’s flagship campus in West Palm Beach. The Palm Beach County Sports Commission Volleyball Classic and the Keiser Volleyball Invitational presented by the Palm Beach County Sports Commission will take place August 12-14 and August 18-19, respectively.

The two invitational events will feature a total of 26 different teams from around the country. The teams represent 14 states including Indiana, South Carolina, Montana, Kansas, Louisiana, Alabama, California, Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, Tennessee, Mississippi, and North Dakota. Four of the teams set to compete are ranked in the 2020-2021 NAIA Women’s Volleyball Coaches Top 25 Poll: #1 Jamestown (ND), #17 Bethel (IN), #19 Madonna (MI), #22 Keiser (FL).

Both the Classic and the Invitational are expected to create a strong economic impact for Palm Beach County. The events will attract over 500 athletes and coaches to The Palm Beaches. The Palm Beach County Sports Commission estimates $700,000 in direct visitor spending will be generated from these events.

The Palm Beach County Sports Commission and Keiser University have enjoyed a strong partnership that has seen The Palm Beaches develop into one of the leading sites for NAIA sports. Events such as the NAIA Football Championship Series, NAIA Volleyball Championship opening round, NAIA Women’s Soccer Championship opening round, the NAIA Men’s Soccer Championship, and the NAIA Women’s Golf Championship have all called Palm Beach County home.

“The Palm Beach County Sports Commission is privileged to have Keiser University as a partner," said George Linley, Executive Director of the Palm Beach County Sports Commission. “Our partnership has delivered Palm Beach County numerous NAIA National Championships in addition to regional championships and national tournaments. This national volleyball invitational will bring teams from across the nation, which will create a rise in hotel occupancy and economic benefit for Palm Beach County’s hospitality industry.

Four Palm Beach County Tennis Venues Receive USTA Outstanding Facility Honors WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- The United States Tennis Association (USTA) recently announced that four tennis venues in Palm Beach County were honored as a part of the organization’s Outstanding Facility Awards. The annual awards program recognizes excellence in the construction and/or renovation of tennis facilities throughout the country.

The City of Palm Beach Gardens Tennis and Pickleball Center (Palm Beach Gardens), Delray Beach Tennis Center (Delray Beach), Rick Macci Tennis and Fitness Center (Boca Raton), and the Swim and Racquet Center (Boca Raton) were all recognized in the Public Courts: Large Tennis Centers (11 or more courts) category. With four venues receiving awards, Palm Beach County had the most facilities honored out of any region in the world.

The City of Palm Beach Gardens Tennis and Pickleball Center is a premier community public tennis and pickleball facility, winning the 2019-2020 USTA National Member Organization of the Year, 2018 USTA Florida Member Organization of the Year Award, and 2014 USTA National Outstanding Facility Award. The center features 20 state-of-the-art hydro-grid clay courts.

A world-class facility at the entrance of picturesque and palm-lined downtown Delray Beach, the Delray Beach Tennis Center contains 14 clay courts, six hard courts, and an 8,200-seat stadium. One of the premier tennis facilities in the southeast, the center hosts many elite and charity tennis tournaments throughout the year, including the Delray Beach Open, the only ATP tour event combining an ATP 250 event with an ATP Champions Tour; the USTA Clay Court Championships; and the Chris Evert Pro-Celebrity Tennis Classic.

The Rick Macci Tennis and Fitness Center is one of Palm Beach County’s premier places to learn and play tennis. The award-winning facility featured 19 tennis courts in the heart of Boca Raton’s most versatile sports facility, the Burt Aaronson South County Regional Park.

Boca Raton’s Swim and Racquet Center is a popular place to play in Palm Beach County with over 300 patrons a day playing at the facility. The center features 26 Har Tru Courts, 12 of which are lighted for night play, and a full-service pro shop.

To be considered for an award, facilities must be under the jurisdiction of a park and recreation department, an educational institution, a nonprofit corporation, or be a private or commercially-owned-and-operated facility that offers both USTA and public programming designed to help grow tennis.

Facilities were judged on the following criteria: overall layout and adaptation to the site; excellence of court surface and lights; ease of maintenance; accommodations for players, spectators, and press/officials; aesthetics; graphics (including the use of signs and landscaping); amenities such as casual seating for spectators, food services and social areas; and the facilities’ participation in USTA programs.

Summer Smash Sectional Championships Brings Top Tennis Talent to Palm Beach County WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- The 13th annual Summer Smash Sectional Championships, one of Florida’s premier summer tennis tournaments, has returned elite-level tennis to multiple venues in Palm Beach County.

Over 500 players will compete throughout the two-weekend event. With the influx of players, their families, and personal coaches, the Palm Beach County Sports Commission projects a strong economic impact for Palm Beach County. In 2019, the last time the event was held before COVID-19 protocols limited the event’s size, the Summer Smash Sectional Championships generated over $300,000 in direct visitor spending.

PIM, based in Delray Beach, is the event organizer for the Summer Smash Sectional Championships as well as a variety of USTA sanctioned events in The Palm Beaches on an annual basis. Beyond youth tennis, PIM produces the Delray Beach Open, a long-running staple of the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) Tour.

The Delray Swim & Tennis Club, the second location of the famed Delray Beach Tennis Center, features 24 clay courts and a clubhouse that has a pro shop with merchandise and locker rooms. One Tennis Academy at Boca Lago Country Club consists of 14 clay courts, four hard courts, and houses two soccer fields with an attached pro shop. Boca West Country Club boasts 29 hydro tennis courts and eight pickleball courts.

South Florida PBS’ signature lifestyle series explores a variety of Hispanic-owned local businesses in an episode that airs Tuesday, September 28 on WPBT and Thursday, September 30 on WXEL. Hispanic Heritage Month is celebrated from September 15 – October 15 annually.

“Instead of focusing on specific towns and communities as we’ve done with previous episodes, this time we’re taking a look at how the Hispanic business owners – from many regions – enrich communities in Palm Beach County,” says Joyce Belloise, Vice President of Content and Community Partnerships for South Florida PBS. Now in its fifth season, the series is hosted by versatile actor/producer/ director Frank Licari. “I did a little salsa dancing, met some amazingly talented artists and craftsmen and of course, ate Licari On Location the most delicious food – and we just barely scratched the surface! Hispanic culture and flavor is on full display in Palm Beach County. I had a blast exploring and learning about the many facets. I hope viewers enjoy Licari Learning Salsa the show as much as I did,” says Licari.

On the Town recently aired a similar culture-focused episode, On the Town: Black Voices, which highlighted Black-owned businesses in the County. After airing on South Florida PBS, both shows can be viewed on demand at ThePalmBeaches.TV. See more about the series at southfloridapbs.org/on-the-town.

I didn't see Jordin Canada that growing up,” said Jordin Canada, Seattle Storm point guard in a press release. The campaign signals a bright future for the women’s game and the next generation.

EDUCATION CORNER GARDENS HIGH BIDS FAREWELL TO ICON Beloved educator Arty Falk passed away in August at 67 years young. Adored by generations of students at Palm Beach Gardens High School (PBGHS), Arty fostered an atmosphere of fun and Arty Falk laughter, and created a positive influence on countless students during his 40+ years as an educator, beginning in Brooklyn and culminating in Palm Beach Gardens.

“Arty was amazing!” said Ryan Dockery, Film & TV instructor at PBGHS. “He launched our Five-Star Magnet Program back in the early 90's and was the coordinator until 2007. He then became the Assistant Principal until he retired in 2016, although he never stopped coming to school. He loved it!” Never without his signature fedora, Arty coached girls' basketball, loved announcing the football games, and led the Homecoming Parade Kayla Cares 4 Kids Kazoo Band every year. He also immersed himself in volunteer work with organizations such as Relay for Life, Kayla Cares 4 Kids, and Junior Achievement. The iconic Arty Falk Golf Classic will forever bear his name as a memory of his numerous charitable efforts.

“Arty created one of the best business advisory boards in the county at Gardens High School,” said Chuck Elderd, PBC Film Commissioner.

“Their students have amazing opportunities to gain real world experience working with businesses on the board.” Arty Falk will forever be missed by the students, parents, staff, and faculty he encountered along the way, and will forever be a Gardens Gator!

Production Activity Report For July 2021 Variance Explanations Percentage change variances of ± 10% in performance statistics are typically explained in this section.

However, due to the Coronavirus’ impact on Palm Beach County’s production industry beginning in March 2020, year-over-year percentage changes in each category show major increases due primarily to the stability the industry has reached in recovering business lost amidst global lockdowns during the pandemic. For a more detailed historical context of COVID-19’s impact timeline for Palm Beach County and the state of Florida as compared to the U.S. at large, please refer to the March – December 2020 Production Activity Reports.

Production Revenue: 27% increase Hotel Room Nights: 44% increase Production Days: 35% increase Total Productions: 73% increase Total Leads: 38% increase Lead Responses: 36% increase Lead Conversions: 75% increase

In comparison to pre-pandemic numbers from 2019, cumulative totals for Production Days, Permits, NonPermitted Productions, Leads and Lead Conversions for January–July 2021 have surpassed that of January– July 2019, showing that the Palm Beach County production industry is adjusting and recovering from the hardships and obstacles presented by the pandemic. In fact, a record number of permits have been issued in the first seven month of the calendar year (238 vs. previous record of 221 in 2017).

Notable productions that have contributed to the economic recovery evidenced in the data collected this month include photoshoots for major brands like Lilly Pulitzer and publications like Golf Digest and Cosmopolitan Magazine, as well as television series like HGTV’s Renovation Island and Amazon’s The College Tour. Additionally, the Tourism Branded Content Sponsorship Program has continued on-location production and post-production on several series including On The Town in The Palm Beaches, Birding Adventures of The Palm Beaches and Passport To The Palm Beaches.

In the midst of the recovery process, the FTC staff actively generates and pursues leads for new business. While major production epicenters like California and New York were undergoing continuous shutdowns to slow the spread of COVID-19 in January and February 2021, Florida remained open for business while making health and safety a priority on set, and continues to do amidst the growing cases associated with the Delta variant.

The State Film Commission’s number of leads has more than doubled over last year, showing that this is a statewide trend. The FTC cultivates those relationships with returning clients to keep Palm Beach County top of mind as safe, reliable place for production to take place.

August 2021 Project Status Report Department of Environmental Resources Management Tarpon Cove: The acquisition of beneficially reusable sand generated from the Town of Palm Beach Marina dredging project is nearing completion with approximately 107,500 cubic yards dredged so far and 1,000 cubic yards remaining. The next phase of the project will begin in September with the placement of rock and sand to construct two new mangrove islands and coastal bird nesting habitat in the northern area of the project. Completion of this phase is anticipated in spring 2022. The project is funded by three Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission agreements totaling $2.1 million, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service grants for National Coastal Wetlands Conservation and State Wildlife, and a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Hurricane Irma Fisheries Disaster Recovery Grant. Additionally, State of Florida Lake Worth Lagoon Appropriations and County funds are also contributing towards the project.

CORAL REEF SURVEY

TARPON COVE CONSTRUCTION

Coral Reef Surveys: ERM staff are out and about this summer monitoring natural reefs in Palm Beach County as part of the Florida Reef Resilience Program (FRRP) Disturbance Response Monitoring (DRM) effort. The FRRP is a collaborative program among reef managers, scientists, and conservation organizations in Florida to develop, implement, and support resiliencebased management strategies for coping with climate change and other stresses on our Florida reefs. DRM started in 2005 as part of the FRRP Bleaching Response Plan and is now the largest coordinated coral condition monitoring program in the world! To complete this type of monitoring, divers survey natural reef sites from Martin County to the Dry Tortugas during the months of peak thermal stress, recording coral health and demographic data underwater. In Palm Beach County, staff are assigned random survey sites at roughly 60 feet of depth and work through the season to monitor each site before submitting the data to staff from Florida Fish and Wildlife Research Institute.

Each year, a quick-look report is produced based on survey results. These results inform both reef managers and researchers on the health and condition of corals along the Florida Reef Tract. Quick Look Reports from 2011 to 2020 can be downloaded directly from the DRM website on the ‘Surveyor Trainings and Resources’ at: https://ocean.floridamarine.org/FRRP/Home/About.

Sea Turtle Nest Evaluations: Throughout August, ERM hosted four public sea turtle hatch success evaluations in Palm Beach County. These events, authorized by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, educated nearly 100 guests about sea turtle biology and conservation, and provided a unique opportunity to interact with Palm Beach County biologists during a live inventory of a recently hatched nest. These evaluations provide crucial data for resource managers across the state of Florida.

Occasionally during these events, biologists find live hatchlings that have yet to make it out of the nest on their own, although there is no guarantee of seeing hatchlings. A key take-away from this educational opportunity is to remind guests to be mindful of our hatchlings during this time of year by keeping our beaches dark.

NEST EVALUATION

SandSpur Ultra at Jupiter Ridge: On August 14th, the Sandspur Ultra group held their 4th annual Trident race at Jupiter Ridge Natural Area. For the first time ever, the race offered three different options for participants: a day half-marathon, a night half-marathon, and the “maratón de las muertes” for those brave enough to attempt both half-marathons in a single day! In total, there were 78 runners and 66 finishers from four different states. The Sandspur group’s next event at Jupiter Ridge spans two days, December 11th and 12th, with events totaling 81.1 miles!

VA Kayaking Event: ERM staff had the privilege to take a group of veterans from the WPB Veteran’s Affairs Medical Center on a kayaking excursion. The group enjoyed a beautiful morning paddle at Winding Waters Natural Area.

“Digital Platforms”, as used in this Agreement, shall mean any digital platform controlled by County and/or City and predominantly branded with Sponsor IP (as defined below), including County and/or City’s social media platforms (e.g., Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, etc.) that meet the foregoing requirements, provided that (i) the Digital Platforms must be Distributed solely via the internet and other means of digital Distribution (e.g., mobile), (ii) the Digital Platforms may not be distributed via any means of over-the-air broadcast, cable or satellite television, and (iii) ESPN approves in advance any third party host or content contributor, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. The Highlights must not be distributed as “encapsulated” or “sped up” versions of the Event intended as a substitute for the full Program, and shall be restricted to highlights as the term is ordinarily used within the industry. County 5

and/or City’s Distribution of the Highlights is made without any representation or warranty by ESPN to County and City of any kind regarding the Program or the Highlights (including, without limitation, with respect to the constituent elements and any third party materials contained in such Program or Highlights) and is made strictly on a quitclaim, as-is, where-is basis. ESPN specifically disclaims any and all warranties, including warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, clear and marketable title, and non-infringement of third-party rights. d. County and City, respectively, hereby grant to ESPN a nonexclusive, nontransferable, royalty-free, perpetual, worldwide right and license to use County and City’s name(s), logo(s) and decorative design(s) (collectively, “Sponsor IP”), as provided to ESPN, in furtherance of ESPN’s promotion, staging and distribution of the Bowl Game (the “Bowl Game Promotion and Distribution”). ESPN’s license to use Sponsor IP is perpetual with respect to uses within the Program (and portions thereof), but is limited to the Term hereof with respect to other uses (e.g., ESPN shall not create Bowl Game collateral bearing Sponsor IP upon expiration of the Term but, for clarity, may continue to distribute such existing collateral created prior to expiration of the Term). ESPN’s proposed executions of the Sponsor IP shall be subject to County and/or City, as applicable, prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. ESPN shall provide County and/or City, as applicable, the proposed material in connection with any and all such executions appropriately in advance to enable County and/or City’s review and approval. Once County and/or City, as applicable, has approved a particular use of the Sponsor IP, the approval will remain in effect for such use until withdrawn by County and/or City, as applicable, with reasonable prior written notice. County, City and ESPN shall meaningfully consult regarding ESPN’s use of Sponsor’s IP within such Bowl Game Promotion and Distribution. e. County and City may use only the designated Bowl Game-specific trade/service mark(s) of ESPN (“Designated Mark(s)”), during the Term, on a non-exclusive basis, in accordance with this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all of County and City’s proposed executions of the sponsorship and/or advertising benefits set forth herein containing the Designated Mark(s) shall be subject to ESPN’s prior written approval, in each instance, granted or withheld in ESPN’s sole discretion. County and City, respectively, shall provide ESPN the proposed material in connection with any and all such executions appropriately in advance to enable ESPN’s review and approval. Once ESPN (through the Executive Director of the Event or his/her delegate) has approved a particular use of the Designated Mark(s), the approval will remain in effect for such use until withdrawn by ESPN with reasonable prior written notice. For clarity, County and City do not have any right to, and shall not: (i) use any trade/service marks, names, corporate indicia, fanciful characters, designs or other intellectual property of ESPN or its parent, subsidiaries, or affiliates other than the Designated Marks (collectively, “ESPN IP”) unless such use is explicitly permitted herein); or (ii) utilize the Designated Mark(s) on products or merchandise. County and City acknowledge and agree that all collateral materials (e.g., signage and promotional materials, to the extent permitted hereunder) that County and City are authorized to produce hereunder utilizing the Designated Mark(s) must be printed in the United States of America.

f. As between ESPN and County and City, ESPN owns, exclusively, all rights in and to the Bowl Game, the ESPN IP, the Designated Mark(s), and any and all Programs. All rights not specifically granted to County and City herein are exclusively reserved by ESPN. 13.

The Parties shall maintain adequate records to justify all charges, expenses, costs and revenue (including sponsorships) regarding the Activity Costs for at least three (3) years after completion of the Bowl Game. The Parties shall each have access to all books, records and documents of the other as required in this section for the purpose of inspection or audit during normal business hours.

14. Default, Opportunity to Cure, and Termination for Default. In the event that the County or City is in default of the obligations set forth in this Agreement, the Party not in default or ESPN shall provide to the Party in default thirty (30) days written notice to cure. If said default is not cured within the 30-day period, the Party not in default may choose at its sole discretion to take the full responsibility for the Base Costs and Activity Costs for the remainder of the duration of the Agreement. The Party assuming the responsibilities of the defaulting Party shall be entitled to the benefits provided to the defaulting Party in this Agreement, as identified in Exhibit C. If such assumption of responsibilities by the Party not in default does not occur, ESPN may terminate the Agreement against the defaulting Party.

If ESPN is in default of the obligations set forth in this Agreement before the payment to ESPN for the first of the two Base Cost payments for any year during the term of this Agreement, the County and City, individually or collectively, shall provide ESPN thirty (30) days written notice to cure. If the default is not corrected within thirty (30) days, the County and City, individually or collectively, may terminate this Agreement. If the default occurs after the payment to ESPN for the first of the two Base Cost payments for any year during the term of this Agreement, and before the Bowl Game, ESPN shall reimburse the County and City for all Base Costs and all Activity Costs paid to date within 30 days from City and/or County’s demand for reimbursement.

15.

Force Majeure. Each Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement immediately in the event of a force majeure event that results in the cancellation of the Bowl Game and such terminating Party shall not be considered in default by reason of any failure in performance if such failure arises out of causes reasonably beyond the control of the terminating Party and without the terminating Party’s fault or negligence. Such causes include, but are not limited to: 

  

Natural or public health emergencies or pandemics and epidemics, including but not those limited to, those caused by bacteria or virus, (e.g. the current COVID-19 pandemic and any future resurgence thereof) and related actions, regulations or decrees by federal, state or local government or by a sport governing body or authority acts of God, such as severe acts of nature or weather events including floods, fires, earthquakes, hurricanes, or natural explosions; war, acts of terrorism, explosions or manmade biological attack; acts of governmental authorities such as expropriation, condemnation, and changes in laws and regulations (Such acts are not compensable under this Agreement); and strikes and labor disputes.

If termination occurs as a result of a force majeure event, and only if the Bowl Game for which 7

the Base Cost payments or Activity Cost payments were made is cancelled and does not occur, County and City will be reimbursed for those payments, minus verifiable documented direct expenditures ESPN has made towards the Bowl Game event and any non-cancellable obligations incurred by ESPN under this Agreement (after all mitigation efforts) which expenditures must be dated and occurring prior to the notification of the Force Majeure cancellation. No overhead, profit, or internal expenditures shall be included as verifiable documented expenditures. ESPN shall provide invoices and paid receipts in order to document expenditures made to date of cancellation.

Thereafter, County, City and ESPN shall be relieved of all obligations under this Agreement, excepting indemnity, access and audits, remedies, and other obligations which are included in paragraph 30 or by their natures are intended to survive this Agreement shall survive. In the event County or City terminates for force majeure but the non-cancelling government entity desires to continue the Agreement and not terminate for force majeure, then the Party not terminating may choose at its sole discretion to take the full responsibility for the Base Costs and Activity Costs for the remainder of the duration of the Agreement. The Party assuming the responsibilities of the terminating Party and shall be entitled to the benefits provided to the terminating Party in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that ESPN postpones or delays the Bowl Game due to a force majeure event, then the Parties shall have no right to terminate this Agreement and ESPN shall have the right to elect to stage, produce and distribute the live event Bowl Game on its rescheduled date and/or time and to provide County and City with the applicable sponsorship and advertising benefits hereunder in accordance with all the terms hereof in connection with the rescheduled Bowl Game (including, without limitation, any payments described on Exhibit A and all benefits under Exhibit C), in which case all of the City, the County and ESPN’s rights herein shall survive.

Film & TV Commission Executive Summary

EXECUTIVE BRIEF FY21/22 The Palm Beach County Film & Television Commission (FTC) is a dynamic, multi-faceted organization that markets, supports, and expands the production industry for The Palm Beaches. Servicing the industry for 32 years, no project is too small or too large for clients to discover the FTC’s “can do” approach, superior service, attention to detail, responsiveness, and the resources to turn production projects into a reality.

The FTC is a non-profit 501(c)(6) agency funded through a portion of bed taxes under contract with the Board of County Commissioners, reports to the County through The Palm Beach County Tourist Development Council (TDC) and is governed by a Board of Directors and special committees that assist in directing finance, marketing, and programming initiatives. The organization oversees two contracts: 1) $1.1M contract with the BCC 2) $75,000 contract with DHES (Education) Emerging from one of the most challenging periods in Palm Beach County’s history due to the COVID19 pandemic, the FTC remained steadfast in its vision to be the innovative organization that positively impacts the community beyond expectations. In a time where so much uncertainty existed, the FTC strengthened communications with the local production community, aided in one of the first nationally released COVID safety guidelines for production sets, facilitated 20 COVID PSA’s with the County, designed and executed a phased marketing campaign aligned with “Open Palms” in collaboration with TDC sister agencies, and created The Palm Beaches TV Facebook Watch Party series to keep the destination top of mind for travel considerations.

Like no other film commission in the Country, the organization goes beyond the foundation of service to actively generate production and grow the local economy. The FTC’s Tourism Branded Content Sponsorship Program remains to be a successful marketing strategy that cultivates the development and distribution of new tourism programming. This initiative enabled us to launch the Palm Beaches TV in 2017 and begin building an impressive library of original broadcast content specific to tourism in The Palm Beaches. In addition, the program is generating new business opportunities for the local production community and has helped offset the impact of not having a state or local incentive program. Some new shows premiering this year include ScubaNation, partnering with Discover The Palm Beaches and Environmental Resources Management, Art Adventures of The Palm Beaches partnering with the Cultural Council for Palm Beach County, a new sports series in partnership with The Palm Beach County Sports Commission!

On behalf of the TDC, the FTC continues to manage The Palm Beaches TV, Palm Beach County’s Official Tourism TV Channel. Distributing over 40 hours of original programming, this marketing platform provides all the family-friendly, iconic, and little-known offerings of Palm Beach County with the click of a button. The Palm Beaches TV is a complimentary marketing tool for those appearing on the channel – all designed to stimulate tourism growth to deliver the greatest economic impact. Available as a designated channel in nearly 4000 hotel rooms, on Roku, via mobile app and online at ThePalmBeaches.TV, this 24/7 channel offers inspiration and some of the best experiences and backdrops of the destination delivered through the lens of lively storytelling.

The Palm Beaches TV Facebook Watch Party series launched June 2020. Hosted by Palm Beach County Tourist Development Council Executive Director Glenn Jergensen along with co-host Lauren Tobin, the series is created using original content as seen on The Palm Beaches TV. These mini episodes spotlight our expansive tourism offerings while sharing relevant messages from local tourism leaders. To date, with minimal financial input, the FTC has produced over 60 episodes that have been distributed to the drive market. More than half a million people have been reached through this targeted campaign.

The FTC embraces the responsibility to develop and increase media and public relations outreach.

Plans include launching a new weekly Facebook Watch Party series dedicated to “PBC Tourism News.”

The Episodes are designed to share current tourism related events and happenings, provide monthly tourism data and spotlight new initiates from our tourism partners.

Local, domestic, and international projects continue to utilize the services and resources offered by the Commission. The FTC is the official Palm Beach County agency that issues permits for commercial production on public property offering a One-Stop permitting process that works with over 50 municipalities, taxing districts, county departments and other community entities. Unwavering in our commitment to service on-location production, the FTC’s expertise on regional regulations and strong community partnerships create opportunities for production teams to get the job done, focus on their craft and capture extraordinary footage. Over 130 local production companies call The Palm Beaches home, offering a wide array of services for creative and logistical needs alike. The FTC acknowledges the hard work of local industry professionals for their diligence, expertise, and adaptability, making it possible to get cameras rolling again despite the challenges of the pandemic.

Palm Beach County’s diverse population and tourism offerings brings together a mix of communities, backgrounds, and perspectives. The FTC is expanding its equity, diversity, and inclusion initiatives across multiple programs under the guidance of the TDC and FTC Board of Directors.

As we are building for the future, educational programs that cultivate a solid workforce and showcase student work are essential to our communities' initiatives. From our structured internship program to the one-of-a kind student One-Stop permitting process, to the cornerstone of the FTC’s education outreach – The Palm Beaches Student Showcase of Films - we are committed to supporting up-andcoming talent and advancing the local industry and economy.

The enclosed marketing plan presentation focuses on the following key strategic priorities: marketing, content creation, service, educational programs and data collection.

Event Description: The Palm Beach County Sports Commission won the bid to host the Perfect Game World Wood Bat Association (WWBA) World Championship and the Perfect Game WWBA Freshman World Championship this fall. These events enjoyed a rich history in Palm Beach County before being relocated to Lee County in October of 2020, due to Covid-19. Perfect Game is the predominant scouting service and event rights holder in amateur baseball and the Perfect Game WWBA World Championship and Freshman World Championship are two of the most competitive baseball tournaments under Perfect Game’s umbrella.

The combination of the Perfect Game WWBA World Championship and Freshman World Championship in Palm Beach County have been coined “The Perfect Game WWBA Championship Week” in The Palm Beaches.

The Palm Beach County Sports Commission is partnering with Ballpark of the Palm Beaches, Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium and Palm Beach County Parks and Recreation to host the Perfect Game Championship Week from October 7-11, 2021. Perfect Game would utilize up to 26 diamonds at Ballpark of the Palm Beaches in West Palm Beach, Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium in Jupiter, and 4 diamonds at the Santaluces Athletic Complex in Lantana.

The Perfect Game WWBA World Championship is the premier showcase and scouting event on the globe.

The Perfect Game WWBA World Championships, which is simply known as “Jupiter” amongst the amateur baseball community, has taken place in Palm Beach County a total of 19 times in the past 21 years (the event was relocated in 2005 due to Hurricane Wilma and 2020 due to Covid-19). The Perfect Game WWBA World Championship is a wood bat only tournament for the 18U age group and attracts mostly players that will be selected in the Major League Baseball (MLB) draft or play NCAA Division I college

baseball. The format consists of pool play and each team is guaranteed a minimum of four games. Only one team will claim a championship and will be fitted for championship rings. This event is Perfect Game’s foremost national team showcase. The top travel baseball organizations from across the United States, Canada, and the Caribbean will compete at this elite, invitation-only event. The 2021 Perfect Game WWBA World Championship will consist of 92 teams in 2021.

The Perfect Game WWBA Freshman World Championship relocated to Palm Beach County in 2017 after a five (5) year stretch at the Lake Point Community in Atlanta, Georgia. This event is the premier showcase created solely for high school freshman. The leading travel teams for this age group are invited to attend.

This is also a wood bat tournament with a pool play format. Each team is guaranteed 4 games and only one team will be crowned a victor. In 2021, a total of 70 teams will be fielded in the Perfect Game WWBA Freshman World Championship.

The Perfect Game WWBA Championship Week will create a massive economic and tourism impact for Palm Beach County. The Perfect Game WWBA World Championship and Freshman Championship will bring nearly 170 traveling baseball teams to The Palm Beaches, consisting of 3,000+ visiting athletes, 334 coaches, and over 4,500 traveling spectators. These events are projected to create over 7,800 hotel room nights and $6 million of direct visitor spending.

Scouts: Ultimately, the Perfect Game WWBA World Championship and Freshman World Championship provide a showcase for prospects while they perform in front of professional scouts and college recruiters. Over 1,000 scouts will travel across the nation to take advantage of the talented collection of youth baseball players performing on 30 diamonds at only three (3) venues.

Each of the 30 MLB scouts will send multiple scouts. Other professional scouts and college recruiters will also be on-site to take advantage of this unique collection of the best amateur baseball players in the nation. The MLB scouts rent over 700 golf carts, which allow them to move freely and view the games taking place at the multiple diamonds within the spring training facilities.

The impact from scouts were not included in the room projections mentioned above. Scouts do not book rooms within the hotel block and their overnight stays are very difficult to track; however, they are realized. Scouts are responsible for approximately 500 rooms with an average of 2-3 overnight stays.

The Boca Raton Champions Golf Charities (BRCGC) serves as the operational and financial oversight group for the event as well as for the distribution of all charitable funds, as all net tournament proceeds benefit Boca Raton Regional Hospital.

Before the Covid-19 pandemic, this event has traditionally featured three days of championship play in addition to a variety of festivities. Such ancillary events typically include a Women’s Day event, which showcases women’s golf fashion, provides exercises to play better golf and a Clinic & Pro-Am with LGPA legend and eight-time “Player of the Year” Annika Sorenstam; two days of Pro-Am play pairing participants with PGA pros; and a variety of other entertainment.

Attendance: This PGA TOUR Champions event typically draws an attendance that ranges between 60,000 to 70,000 spectators over its duration. Last year, spectators were not permitted due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The TimberTech Championship was designed as a made for TV event and only allowed approved guests to attend in 2020. The buildout of sky suites, tiered seating, and hospitality settings were eliminated in 2020. In 2021, the event will allow spectators and the traditional buildout will return. The pent-up demand for sports entertainment could result in a total attendance that exceeds the 70,000+ range.

Sports Commission Executive Summary

Palm Beach County Sports Commission FY2022 Marketing Plan Executive Summary MISSION The Palm Beach County Sports Commission attracts sporting events and activities to Palm Beach County to enhance occupancy of hotel room nights; to maximize the positive economic impact of these events and activities on the Palm Beach County economy; to maximize the utilization of County facilities; to utilize events and activities to promote the image of Palm Beach County as a sports tourism destination on a national and international level.

COVID-19 IMPACTS ON SPORTS TOURISM COVID-19 has wreaked havoc on the sports world. The coronavirus outbreak has forced organizations within the sports industry to make difficult and heartbreaking decisions regarding their events and business models. Nearly every major sporting event was canceled, relocated, or postponed after the onset of the pandemic.

Sports tourism represents a substantial value to the U.S. economy. However, this economic value has been severely limited by the coronavirus pandemic that has especially damaged the sports events and tourism industry. Nearly all industries are impacted by COVID-19, but to varying degrees. Given that sports and events are considered non-essential services and typically involve the gathering of many participants and spectators, which increases the risk of transmission, the sports tourism industry was significantly impacted for much of 2020 and 2021. Given the event cancellations/postponements, travel restrictions, and ensuing job losses and budget cuts resulting from COVID-19, the sports tourism industry suffered throughout the United States. Some sportsrelated organizations did not survive the pandemic.

Over the ten months from March to December 2020, an estimated 75 million fewer people traveled to sports events within the United States, compared to 2019, resulting in a loss of $20 billion in direct spending. Palm Beach County experienced a significant loss of sports tourism benefits. In 2020, the Palm Beach County Sports Commission lost 77 booked events due to cancellation and relocation. The loss of those events resulted in an elimination of 85,519 booked room nights and a projected economic impact reduction of $59.8 million. In 2021, the Palm Beach County Sports Commission lost 46 events due to cancellation and relocation. Losing those 46 events resulted in a removal of 50,394 booked room nights and a projected economic impact loss of $35.2 million.

Although the Palm Beach County Sports Commission endured its most challenging year in its history, the recovery of Palm Beach County’s sports tourism economy is proceeding. The Palm Beach County Sports Commission, in collaboration with the Tourist Development Council, implemented a phased recovery strategy for sports tourism. The plan was successful, and our Sports Commission realized tourism production during the summer of 2021 that mirrors pre-pandemic conditions in 2019. The Sports Commission’s portfolio of events during the summer of 2021 experienced levels of volume, reach, and potency that represent nearly a full recovery.

6.D. - 2.

ORGANIZATIONAL OBJECTIVES • Visitor Acquisition: Building Back Better in 2022 - The Sports Commission’s tourism output returned to pre-pandemic normalcy in June and July of 2021. However, much work is needed to build the Sports Commission’s annual event portfolio back to its pre-pandemic stature. In FY 2020, the Sports Commission’s event portfolio experienced a 37% reduction after COVID-19 shutdowns were implemented with half of the year remaining. During FY 21, Quarter 1, the Sports Commission underwent a 40% loss in hosted events. Sports-related room nights dropped by 41% in FY 21, Quarter 1 (year over year comparison to FY 20). o

o

•

Fall/Winter Sports Events – Our Sports Commission is actively looking to build back sports tourism during the Fall and Winter, which is a need time for Palm Beach County’s hotel industry.

Strategies being deployed include direct marketing and recruitment towards sports markets that have an active event calendar from October to January; concentration on outdoor sports, which offers Florida destinations a competitive advantage due its ability to host sports on year-round basis with an appealing warm/mild climate; pursuit of several game-changing events, including the National Hockey Festival (world’s largest field hockey tournament), Perfect Game WWBA Fall Championships (additional baseball events with 100+ team participation rates), USA BMX Sunshine State Nationals (premier BMX event in Florida), US Youth Soccer Olympic Development Program & Development Player League Regional & National Championships (200+ team tournaments with growing participation rates), and much more.

Summer Sports Events - The primary timeframe of emphasis for recruiting and developing events is the summer. Hotel occupancy rates are at their lowest during the summer months; therefore, our Sports Commission will prioritize its efforts to enroll events during this period.

Several targets offer strong sports tourism products for the summer. The youth sports marketplace lends itself to the summer timeframe, more than any other market segment since families may travel with their children freely (outside of the school-year calendar). Summer is also a time when events tailored for Florida athletes thrive. As a dominant state for sports, Florida is home to an impressive array of state sports associations and governing bodies, offering a variety of sports events and activities that create drive market tourism. Tournaments, showcases, invitationals, qualifiers, championships, camps, and clinics with a statewide reach will are abundant during the summer. These events are more likely to maintain its tourism potency if the Delta variant negatively impacts traveler sentiment. To help develop tourism in the summer months, a focus is placed on sports with active calendars during the summer, such as baseball, softball, lacrosse, soccer, softball, aquatic sports, tennis, golf, and more.

Sports in Focus - The versatility and variety of facilities, venues, and infrastructure for sports is Palm Beach County’s competitive advantage in terms of developing sports tourism. The changeability of venues combined with the numerous types of public and private facilities that live in Palm Beach County allowed our Sports Commission to program 50+ different types of sports as vehicles to create tourism.

This is a key characteristic of Palm Beach County’s ability to remain in the top five of Florida’s chief sports tourism destinations. While the Sports Commission plans to host over 170 events in FY 22, representing approximately 50 different types of sports, several specific types of sports will be a primary focus. These sports offer significant tourism impacts and some will be more adaptable during potential instabilities with the COVID-19 pandemic. o

National Governing Bodies / Olympic Sports- The National Governing Bodies (NGB’s) are organizations that have a regulatory or sanctioning function over their specific sport. Every sport has a different governing body that can define the way the sport operates through its affiliated clubs and societies. There are a total of 47 National Governing Bodies that exist under the

o

o

o

umbrella of the United States Olympic Committee. The Palm Beach County Sports Commission has formed partnerships with many of these governing bodies to host national events, which create tourism impacts and has led to future business opportunities. Examples of these partnerships include USA Baseball, United States Golf Association, USA Gymnastics, USA Field Hockey, US Soccer Federation, USA Water Ski, USA Wrestling, United States Equestrian Federation, USA Track & Field, USA Swimming, USA Volleyball, USA Softball, USA Water Polo, USA Badminton, and more. Marketing campaigns specifically tailored to the NGBs/Olympic sports will occur throughout the year. A full-court press on recruitment, bid submittal, and networking with past clients and prospective partners to obtain events under the NGB umbrella, will vigorously take place. Finally, the Sports Commission will attend ACES (Association of Chief Executives for Sport) Conference in Colorado Springs. This will be a significant business development effort to identify new business, as it relates to Olympic sports, for 2022 and beyond.

Baseball - As Florida’s only home to two (2) Major League Baseball (MLB) Spring Training complexes, which accommodate four (4) MLB teams, Palm Beach County is the Spring Training Capital of Florida. Ballpark of the Palm Beaches and Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium provide two marquee baseball stadiums and 26-MLB regulation diamonds, over the two sites. Baseball was the dominant sport that led to a full recovery of sports tourism during summer. Our Sports Commission hosted a variety of national baseball tournaments, which generated one-third of the room night production from May – September. These events cater to the high school, collegiate, and adult age groups. In FY 22, the Sports Commission plans to build an even better collection of summer events while rebuilding the fall’s slate of baseball tournaments that were relocated or impeded by COVID-19 Golf - Palm Beach County is Florida’s Golf Capital and it’s no surprise that our Sports Commission has utilized this sport on a year-round basis to drive visitation and room night generation. Golf is a vehicle to attract leisure visitors seeking to play on courses designed by the greatest architects in the game. Our Sports Commission also consistently utilizes Palm Beach County’s 170+ golf courses to host a variety of golf-related tournaments, both on an amateur and professional level. Considering Palm Beach County’s vast golf landscape, our Sports Commission will continue to be a leader in recruiting and hosting some of the nation’s premier amateur golf events. In 2021, our Sports Commission hosted 35 state, regional, and national golf events. Golf is one of our county’s identifying tourism products and represents 20% of the Sports Commission’s event portfolio. Golf will always be a cornerstone for sports tourism in The Palm Beaches and has persevered as a tourism generator during the pandemic. In fact, golf was the first sport to return during the COVID-19 pandemic, from a leisure perspective. Golf was also one of the first sports to come back from an event perspective, in the post-COVID-19 world.

Distancing is easy to achieve within the sport, which will make it more resilient to new threats posed by coronavirus variants. County Sports Commission is working to support a return of the LPGA in January of 2022. Our Sports Commission plans to further golf’s powerful position in Palm Beach County by building more layers of statewide and national golf events.

Racquet Sports - Palm Beach County is home to 1,400 tennis courts and an 8,000-seat stadium.

Currently, the Palm Beach County Sports Commission is hosting a variety of tennis events sanctioned by several event rights holders. Our Sports Commission supports the Delray Beach Open, which is one of two ATP (Association of Tennis Professionals) Tour events in Florida. Our Sports Commission has cultivated several United States Tennis Association (USTA) events in Palm Beach County, which are creating tourism year-round. Our development efforts are gaining momentum in the pickleball space. Pickleball is one of the fastest-growing sports in America and USA Pickleball reported that the number of pickleball courts has more than doubled, since 2012.

Both tennis and pickleball have distancing built within the sport’s framework, which makes them resilient in a COVID-19 era. Tennis joined golf as one of the first events to return to play after

o

o

o

o

the pandemic shutdown of Palm Beach County’s sports scene. FY 22 development plans include the recruitment and hosting of racquet sports to drive tourism from the drive and fly markets.

Equestrian Sports Tourism - Equestrian sports continue to represent the largest sports tourism product in Palm Beach County. The Winter Equestrian Festival (WEF), which is owned by Equestrian Sports Productions (ESP) and takes place at the Palm Beach International Equestrian Center (PBIEC), is a 3-month long event that generates more bed tax revenue and economic impact compared to any other annual event in The Palm Beaches. WEF attracted visitors from all 50 U.S. states and 26 nations in 2021. Equestrian sports moved forward, despite challenges presented by COVID-19. The nature of equestrian sports allows for distancing to be achieved easily and Equestrian Sports Productions (ESP) worked with the United States Equestrian Federation (USEF) on protocols to activate show jumping events during the pandemic. ESP successfully recuperated its Summer Series after the pandemic’s shut down in 2020.

Participation demand increased due to Florida’s growing desirability as a sports destination during the pandemic and the Holiday & Horses Circuit / Winter Equestrian Festival attracted more domestic and international riders. Equestrian Sports Productions also expanded WEF by two weeks, which inspired equine sport participants to stay and play longer in The Palm Beaches.

The Sports Commission is partnering with the United States Polo Association (USPA) Global Licensing in growing the polo season’s reach and tourism impact. The Gauntlet of Polo was formed, which is a series of three high-goal Polo tournaments: the C.V. Whitney Cup the USPA Gold Cup, and the U.S. Open Polo Championship. This partnership has led to a national television broadcast of the U.S. Open Polo Championship. The Sports Commission’s commitment to the equestrian sports market will be robust in FY 22.

Lacrosse - Lacrosse served as one of the largest vehicles for sports tourism, economic impact, and hotel rooms, prior to COVID-19. In the fall of 2019, the Intercollegiate Women’s Lacrosse Coaches Association (IWLCA) Presidents Cup took place in Palm Beach County (International Polo Club and Village Park). This event brought 460 lacrosse teams, nearly 9,000 high school lacrosse players, 20,000 spectators, and 1,000+ college coaches and recruiters. This event was the largest lacrosse showcase taking place on the globe. The IWLCA Presidents Cup created 14,000+ hotel room nights and $11.2 million in visitor spending. Unfortunately, this event was relocated to Tampa in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and will occur in Tampa and Dallas in 2021–23. The IWLCA President’s Cup represents our Sports Commission’s largest casualty to COVID-19. After becoming the nation’s premier destination for amateur lacrosse in 2019, losing the IWLCA Presidents Cup is an enormous setback. Despite this setback, our Sports Commission recognizes that building a foundation of lacrosse events will be a great catalyst for sports tourism. Replacing the IWLCA Presidents Cup in 2022 will be nearly impossible. However, lacrosse provides an opportunity for our Sports Commission to build its event portfolio back after it was diminished due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Our development plan for lacrosse will include partnerships with national organizations in addition to grassroots strategies that include alliances with local lacrosse organizations.

Soccer (Youth, Collegiate & Global markets) - The sport of soccer continues to offer strong tourism products. Soccer participation in the United States increased in 2019 for the first time since 2015. After the United States failed to qualify for the 2018 World Cup, participation dwindled; however, in 2019 not only were more Americans playing soccer, but participation numbers increased by 4.5 percent in one year, which is a significant rise for the third-mostpopular sport in the United States. Now, nearly 12 million people in the U.S. participate in soccer.

Travel soccer also offers highly participated events taking place in the summer and fall. These reasons are why soccer will remain a target for the Sports Commission in FY 22.

Palm Beach County Convention Center - Creating business opportunities for the Palm Beach County Convention Center is a priority for our Sports Commission. The Convention Center’s exhibit hall is 100,000 square feet and with 1,800 tiered seats and connecting hotel, it can be

transformed into a venue for indoor sports. In 2021, the Palm Beach County Convention Center was home to (4) sports events, which included a marquee regional gymnastics meet, a statewide volleyball tournament, Deka-Fit – owned by Spartan Race, and a 200+ team national basketball tournament. The following is currently happening to grow the presence of sports events for the Convention Center in 2022: Accumulating a plan to bring back the 200+ national basketball tournament, the regional volleyball tournament, and Deka Fit. Pursuing a list of new targets for 2022, which includes the United States Table Tennis Open, Eminence Cup (DanceSport), Sunshine State Games, indoor pickleball, and more. Concentration is primarily on short-term business to avoid the Food & Beverage minimum, which excludes most amateur sports events.

SPORTS MARKETING & COMMUNICATIONS • Marketing Research: The Palm Beach County Sports Commission along with a top national research firm developed and deployed a sports destination business intelligence survey targeted at event rights holders, promoters, and national governing bodies. This research survey examined the demographics and psychographics of our customers and their decision-making processes. The survey asked respondents to rate our destination against a competitive set. This insight has been extremely valuable in informing marketing efforts as we work to recruit events from many of these same rights holders.

• Search Engine Optimization - Search engine optimization and an effectively designed website are critical to promote and sell our destination. Over 26% of event owners indicated that they are more likely to use the website of a sports commission when researching destinations. As Our sports commission can increase the quantity and quality of traffic through organic search engine results, this, in turn, gives us more opportunities to convert qualified prospects into customers. Our website is an integral marketing tool that showcases and informs our sports event partners, potential clients, sports tourist, and the local sports community on facilities, sporting events, membership, attractions, hotels, and other Palm Beach County assets.

Social media strategies will include using social media influencers, specialized advertising campaigns to grow a targeted audience, increasing live streaming capabilities at events, and special promotions delivered on our social media vehicles to increase audience engagement.

• Trade Shows - When selecting a destination, the majority of survey respondents (68.8%) who had not previously hosted an event in Palm Beach County before said they use tradeshows to get ideas for destinations in which to host their events. Additionally, when asked how they prefer to be solicited by Sports Commissions this group is much more likely to say they prefer contact at tradeshows and exhibitions. The Palm Beach County Sports Commission will attend the sports travel industry’s most effective conferences, conventions, and tradeshows staged throughout the United States to further its networking, relationship building, and sales efforts.

• Familiarization Tours: When moving prospective event clients through the sales process, site visits or familiarization tours are one of the most beneficial event development strategies. Site visits allow for an event owner to explore potential sports venues while experiencing Palm Beach County’s tourism assets, such as hotels, restaurants, and attractions. In FY 22, our Sports Commission will continue to pursue this winning strategy while creating several new group FAM’s by sport discipline for key event rights holders and event promoters. Through our market research, we found that 81% of event owners will not select a destination unless they tour the location in person first.

Palm Beach County Sports Commission believes that our commitment to event servicing separates us from the competition. Our belief is that event servicing is the primary initiative that results in the repeat event business. Our event management support includes managing an event in its entirety assisting with various operational requirements, such as venue support, hotel, and housing solutions, logistical needs, event supplies, sourcing event equipment and service providers, transportation, volunteer recruitment, permitting, event layouts, and marketing and public relation strategies.

Marketing Campaigns - The Palm Beach County Sports Commission will continue to develop marketing campaigns to increase brand awareness and promote Palm Beach County as a premier sports destination. The Palm Beach County Sports Commission’s marketing and communication efforts focus on promoting Palm Beach County’s sports assets and capabilities. The Palm Beach County Sports Commission will utilize specialty print and digital mediums in leading industry trade publications to promote our message of “Just Bring Your Game.” The Palm Beach County Sports Commission will continue to promote The Palm Beaches as a premier sports destination through digital and print mediums in leading trade publications, such as Sports Travel Magazine, Sports Destination Magazine, SportsEvents Magazine, the Sports Business Journal, and Sports Planning Guide & Directory. Advertising campaigns will also be planned to coincide with industry trade shows and national conventions. This provides an additional instrument and brand awareness during meetings with prospective event clients that occur during the trade shows.

AIRLIFT INBOUND MARKETING SUPPORT • The Palm Beach County Sports Commission will continue to promote the Palm Beach International Airport in FY 22. Commercials and print/digital ads for the airport will be included in assets as we engage in our marketing plan and position our sports commission in trade publications, digital assets, and collateral.

PERFECT WEEK OF SPORTS IN THE PALM BEACHES • The Perfect Week of Sports, first held in 2020, is a marketing initiative of the Palm Beach County Sports Commission with an emphasis on promoting The Palm Beaches as a premier professional sports destination. The ‘Perfect Week’ is a collection of diverse professional sports events that take place with a calendar week in Palm Beach County. The Perfect Week of Sports has shown great potential in its first iteration and, with an even stronger marketing push in 2022, can continue to take its position as a landmark of The Palm Beaches sports calendar. The Palm Beach County Sports Commission will partner with the other TDC agencies to help promote this special tourism week. The FY 22 strategy for the Perfect Week of Sports will include earned media, with public relations and television coverage, owned media through social media, promotion collateral, and website campaigns, and paid media with video production and digital media ads.

CHAMPION EQUITY, DIVERSITY, AND INCLUSION • In order to position Palm Beach County as a premier destination for sports, being a champion of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion is imperative and the most pivotal pillar towards being a leader in sports tourism. Our Sports Commission must nurture an environment that celebrates diversity and demonstrates that people of every race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, age, and capability are embraced.

• Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Training: Diversity in the workplace is a benefit to any organization and is crucial to professional success. In the sports and tourism industries, diversity is a direct reflection of the customers we serve and is vital for success. Our Sports Commission has contracted with an EDI expert consultant and Barry University to help advise and improve our processes, procedures, and practices to ensure their alignment with DEI best practices. In addition, Barry University provided training sessions in the area of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion for all Sports Commission staff. This effort

underscores the value and benefits of working in an environment enriched by diversity and encourages essential skills to improve cooperation and maximize a diverse workplace's values.

Marketing Audit: A recent marketing audit, specifically to measure diversity and inclusion within the PBCSC marketing and media campaigns and materials, revealed that there has been a strong diversity representation in photos and other depictions used when promoting the organization, destination, and its events. This was true of both digital and print materials. PBCSC currently uses a variety of advertising sources that reach a wide range of diverse populations. PBCSC has an ongoing diversity outreach strategy, where it targets organizations with diversity-specific events.

Recognizing Local Sports Organizations for Champion of Equity & Diversity: The Palm Beach County Sports Commission created a new award, to be distributed at its annual Palm Beach Sports Hall of Fame Celebration. “The Champion of Equity & Diversity in Sports” is presented to organizations or individuals that have a profound impact on our community through creating an equitable and inclusive environment in sports. The African American Golfers Hall of Fame received the inaugural award. The Palm Beach County Sports Commission will create additional recognitions for those local organizations that advance diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Business Connect: Business Inclusion & Diversity Connect is the Palm Beach County Sports Commission special event supplier diversity and inclusion program which will be launched in 2022. The Business Connect program works proactively to create opportunities for experienced, qualified, and certified businesses from local and diverse communities to compete for supply opportunities with Palm Beach County Sports Commission hosted events. This program provides a resource and encourages events to source products and services from these previously underused and well-qualified suppliers. The goal is to curate a robust list of 50+ event-ready Palm Beach County minority-owned businesses in 12 business lines to work with event producers hosting events in Palm Beach County. These businesses will be designated ‘approved’ vendors and will be added to the Business Inclusion & Diversity Connect Resource Guide of certified businesses ready to compete for opportunities. The Business Inclusion & Diversity Connect program also offers networking, educational, and business development opportunities to encourage greater business success for each participant.

Event Development: The Sports Commission will implement an aggressive inclusion strategy to attract specific sports events that celebrate diversity. Our Sports Commission has a lengthy list of targeted organizations events, which specifically commemorates diversity, equity, and inclusion.

OUTLOOK • Although the Palm Beach County Sports Commission endured its most challenging year in its history, the recovery of Palm Beach County’s sports tourism economy is proceeding. The Palm Beach County Sports Commission continues to strive for excellence and is always looking toward the future. As the Sports Commission continues to grow stronger and achieve new benchmarks, we will convey this success and enhanced capabilities to the sports travel industry.

Cultural Council Executive Summary

Cultural Tourism Marketing Plan Executive Summary Dear cultural tourism stakeholders, Cultural tourism is big business in Florida. Pre-pandemic, the state attracted more than 100 million visitors per year, and 65% of those visitors took part in at least one cultural activity.

These visitors spent more on their trips and stayed longer than other visitors.

The Palm Beaches are called “Florida’s Cultural Capital®” because art and culture are part of the destination’s brand and what helps set it apart from other travel locations. The destination is home to outstanding arts and cultural organizations that offer thousands of events annually, generate $633 million in economic impact and employ over 14,000 people, due, in part to the support of the Cultural Council and the leadership of the Tourist Development Council and its board of directors.

While COVID-19 has impacted arts and cultural organizations across the globe, The Palm Beaches continues to invest in infrastructure to meet the needs of increased tourism. Many institutions have used this time to focus on planned renovations and expansions. Examples include the Maltz Jupiter Theatre’s new 30,000-square-foot addition that includes a Broadway-scale stage, an expanded orchestra pit, a state-of-the-art production center and a second 199-seat theatre. Loggerhead Marinelife Center in Juno Beach is underway with a $20 million expansion that will add another 27,500-square-feet to its campus to accommodate about 45 sea turtle patients, or about twice as many as it can now. It also will have six times as much educational space, a large research lab, new auditorium and exhibit space, and an in-house water filtration system to provide sea turtle patients with uncompromised water in the event of a crisis such as red tide. And for visual arts aficionados, The Norton Museum of Art opened a $100 million renovation and expansion by the legendary Sir Norman Foster in 2019, and the Boca Raton Museum of Art will debut the world-premiere exhibit, Machu Picchu and the Golden Empires of Peru in October. This growth and investment will continue to build The Palm Beaches’ reputation for being a world-class destination for art and culture.

While experts have predicted vital leisure and hospitality industries won’t return to normal levels until 2024, part of the Cultural Council’s program of work will be to find ways to beat projections and support the return of tourism in The Palm Beaches by leveraging its arts and cultural offerings.

A recent article in Travel Weekly (August 12, 2021) states: “As leisure travel continues to rebound, family travel is showing impressive growth potential, according to several travel advisors — and cultural experiences are an especially attractive fit for this lucrative market.”

6.E. - 1.

Understanding our role in tourism recovery, the Cultural Council’s marketing plan for FY22 will continue to build on the success of its “Where Culture Always Shines” brand campaign to meet its performance measures and inspire cultural travel. Some of the highlights include: 1.

Optimizing a digital-focused strategy to find the balance in driving impressions and highly engaged users; and staying nimble with target audiences—especially as travel trends continue to be impacted by the pandemic—by using insights from VISIT FLORIDA, Discover, and other TDC agencies to market to the right audiences at the right time.

2. Building on the MOSAIC campaign in its fifth year by engaging a local visual artist to update the creative with new work; refining the media strategy based on travel & tourism climate and learnings from past performance; and researching (possibly implementing) new technology that all participating orgs can use to track redemptions and provide universal user experience.

3. Strategically locating the giant “Shades of Culture” around the county building partnerships with host cities or attractions to maximize attention and visitor engagement, including Lake Worth Beach, Wellington and Riviera Beach.

4. Utilizing earned media to reach a goal of 1.4B impressions to promote cultural tourism, leveraging the excitement that today’s travelers have to visit arts & cultural organizations. One important element in FY22 will be to bring back the New York media luncheon/reception in the Fall to build excitement for the upcoming season and begin cultivating media targets for FAM tour visits. This year, the Council is exploring a partnership with Discover The Palm Beaches on this initiative.

5. Publishing the award-winning magazine three times a year (Fall, Winter, Spring/Summer), featuring behind-the-scenes stories about cultural organizations, performances, and collectors that help build awareness for The Palm Beaches as a world-class destination for arts and culture.

On the grantmaking and advocacy side, the Cultural Council also has a strong plan in FY22 to improve processes, strive for efficiencies and provide important professional development and support services to the sector. Some of the highlights include: 1.

Creating and implementing workshops and technical assistance programs to aid organizations in the application and submission process.

2. Instituting a bi-annual site visit initiative to monitor grantees and funded activities.

3. Refining and revising interim and final report instruments to provide information on funded projects and programs, as well as metrics to monitor effectiveness and impact of funded projects.

4. Adding enhancements to co-op strategy to make marketing dollars more effective.

5. Building capacity for the cultural sector with quality professional development opportunities through the Institute for Cultural Advancement (ICA) by offering six workshops led by locally or regionally recognized speakers; maximizing attendance capacity; and encouraging audience diversity so there is a mix of cultural organizations, arts educators, and creative professionals.

Equally as important to its marketing and grantmaking, The Cultural Council will continue to promote Equity, Diversity and Inclusion both internally and externally. The host partners plan to reconvene after the Arts & Tourism Summit on Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (Aug. 2021) to share case studies and best practices in a virtual Town Hall meeting. And, the Council will continue to demonstrate our commitment to this initiative by funding a customized 6-

month Palm Beaches Diversity Challenge in collaboration with Discover The Palm Beaches and the People’s Institute for a cohort of 10 cultural and hospitality organizations to launch in the Fall.

This has been an unprecedented year, but it has taught us that we are stronger together and has made our TDC agency communication and partnerships stronger than ever.

We look forward to the new year.

Thank you for your continued support and leadership.
