UMCVB Fall Conference

Umcvb_2
I’m in Siouxland early this week, speaking at the UMCVB Fall Conference, being held at the Marina Inn.

I’m not the only blogger on the docket:

  • Keynote Steve Siemens just got started – though he doesn’t accept comments yet. Hopefully we can have some dialog about that.
  • Keynote Bill Giest’s Zeitgiest might have just missed the Z-List (shouldn’t "Zeitgeist" be automatic there?), but he’s the foundation of the T-List.

With two breakouts (Monday: Listening; Tuesday: Talking), we’ll put the Upper Midwest CVBers, tourism pros, and event planners in a position to engage an audience already talking about them.

One of the key sponsors, Midwest Meetings, offers three different RSS Feeds — a great place to start the listening (Wisconsin leads the league with 49 results linking to their site).

I still think Savannah’s Creative Coast Initiative is setting the bar in this space and has kept it up for awhile.

    Hey, thanks thanks for the shout out Mike! We’ve been trying our hardest down here in Savannah. Glad some folks are taking notice!
