First Time's A Charm

Tourism Academy 2018 was my first time attending the conference, and it is definitely on our radar for next year. Really felt all the sessions were very helpful, and learned a lot!

Connect with Peers

I look forward to Tourism Academy every year, and I love connecting with other DMOs and having a chance to better understand the successes and challenges of smaller DMOs.

Friendly Atmosphere

I can't believe this was my 5th year attending and it really is a friendly and intimate environment.

Alum Status

I enjoy attending Tourism Academy, and I've seen it grow from the iDSS users' conference into the TA that it is today. It's not just a system user how-to conference but also offers a marketing and hospitality digital trends track.
