Hello, IATDG family! We are excited to announce that TourConnect 2024 will be held in a city that received many votes and suggestions from you all! This year, we are taking the high road… in the Mile-High City!!! TourConnect 2024 will be held in the stunning city of Denver, CO, at the Hyatt Regency Aurora-Denver Conference Center, November 10-14; the same week it’s been nearly every year. Denver is a favorite group tour launch spot and there are so many historic, beautiful, and fun places to explore. We will have an engaging and educational pre-conference FAM tour of the region, days of learning from new experts and educators, FAMs at local attractions and events, and interviewing sessions that
have proven highly effective. We’re looking forward to exploring the excitement of the city and wonders of nature as IATDG takes over Colorado’s Rocky Mountains. LET’S DO THIS!!! As you are aware, IATDG has been about inclusivity and unity in our industry since its inception. Eight years
ago, we hosted the first conference that was open to all tour directors, regardless of background or training. We brought all companies and group tour leaders together and began fostering a warm, welcoming atmosphere, introducing opportunities to people from all walks of life. We value safe spaces and are very proud of our record of unity, inclusivity, and diversity. We are excited about cultivating relationships with our trusted industry partners, developing new ones with like-minded organizations who share our values, and working with those whose intentions are to build and unify. We’ve been here building, serving, and loving our community for 8 years and we’re super excited about the next 8. You have a conference… you have a home. The tour directors, tour guides, and tour operators that you know and love will be there, as well as a host of new ones. We can’t wait to welcome you back. The early bird rate for the conference is $399… Register today to lock in that rate with a $99 deposit. The Early bird rate is only available to the first 150 registrants. The hotel rate is only $149 per night… Register for the conference with the
button below and the registration link for the hotel will be posted and sent next week. I can’t wait to see you in Denver!
Love, Von
