The 2022 Annual meeting will be an unprecedented gathering of our industry and members!
I am eager to share exciting plans for NYSTIA's Annual Meeting and Tourism Excellence Awards. Final details involving many partners will be finalized shortly. Plan your travel accordingly - I urge you to plan to arrive Wednesday to take advantage of planned afternoon and evening offsite activities and/or make plans of your own!
The 2022 Annual Meeting will be packed with inspirational keynotes, hands-on workshops, industry updates, more, with registration including admission to the One World Observatory at the Freedom Tower and the New York International Travel Show at the Javitts Center (no additional cost!). We'll be easy to get to by train or plane at the NEW YORKER Hotel (see below). Stay tuned for details!
