hey there.

All the rumors are true. This is different. This is special. This is the place. The place for

destinations who think differently. The place for placemakers. The place for tourism partners. This is a unique, immersive virtual event/education experience for destinations AND their partners. #goteam

we are the DESTRUPTORS.

✅ You seek nothing but the best for your community.

✅ You know that "new normal" is a nonsense concept;

✅ Your smallest businesses deserve the same access to national brand-level education and data;

✅ You're pretty tired of the outdated conference format that embraces "clique" mentality with no relevancy for destinations of "a certain size".
