For those that have been missing their daily dose of Zeitgeist, j'excuse. We've been burning on finalizing preparations for and launching the inaugural Board Leadership for Destinations Symposium with our friends from SearchWide Global, Civitas Advisors, CFObyDesign, Fired Up! Culture and representatives from Destinations International. Hosted by one of our dearest friends in the industry, Maura Gast and the exceptional team at the Irving Convention Center, the event exceeded even our expectations when we hatched this egg of an idea in Toronto last summer.
Thanks to the DMOs that joined us on this journey for your faith in our ability to deliver compelling content to your Board members and provide them the opportunity to interface with their peers from across the country, from Mat-Su to Savannah and Newport to Anaheim. And thank you for the closing session encouragement that this was, indeed, an empowering experience for CEO and Board members alike. That was our intent all along.
And, for those that couldn't join us because of scheduling conflicts, know that we'll be announcing future dates in the coming weeks.
Because, this was just too cool of an experience for all of us to not do it again.
For all that joined us in Irving...Thank You.
Congrats, Bill. This is why you're still the Big Kahuna! One thing to have an idea, and totally something else to actually pull it off better than you envisioned.
