An ongoing challenge is finding ways to effectively break through the noise to engage your audience and customers.

At the 7th annual Destination Marketing Tech Summit & Vendor Showcase you’ll gather new tactics, technologies and insights to increase your ability to enhance your destination marketing programs. Our top-rated program includes content for destination marketing organizations of every size. 

WACVB brings together marketing and technology experts to present strategies and solutions that have direct relevance to our industry. You will be able to attend 12 of the 16 education sessions offered to learn new marketing approaches, advertising solutions and metrics insights.

Learn from popular returning speakers such as Martin Stoll, Erin Francis Cummings, and Steven Paganelli. And, be introduced to a new group of presenters including Robert Rose, Steve Fisher, William Bakker, Jeanne Jennings, Elena Prostova and others.

Get up-to-date practical content about market segments and learn how to leverage marketing technologies and dollars to drive business to your destination.

Take advantage of two new offerings this year…a Facebook Lab and a Google Analytics Lab on the afternoon of March 28. Bring your laptop and your inquisitive nature to these two hands-on labs.

Meet with business and travel technology vendors face to face for innovative product and service updates.

Take advantage of significant opportunities for peer-to-peer idea exchanges as you build your network of industry colleagues.
Increase your own value to your organization by your participation at the Tech Summit.

Creative and energizing, the Tech Summit offers a comfortable, casual and friendly environment--you will be engaged on all levels.
