Tourism Insider Meetings
In 2023, the Iowa Tourism Office launched a new series of meetings called Tourism Insider Meetings. The intention of the events is to provide opportunities for industry partners from across the state to gather, collaborate, share ideas and network.
Application to host
We would again like to invite partner communities, businesses or organizations to express interest to be one of the five hosts for these meetings, which are a great opportunity to show off your visitor assets and success stories to tourism industry partners from around the state. We encourage partnering with others in your area to co-host. Please note if you have already hosted a Tourism Insider Meeting, you cannot host again during this cycle. The application deadline is Friday, December 15, 2023.
