Skal New Orleans 8th Annual Industry Update – Tuesday, June 20th
Skalleagues..
Our 8th Annual Industry Update is in two weeks…Tuesday, June 20 at the U.S. Freedom Pavillion: the Boeing Center at The National WWII Museum. We are anticipating 300 industry professionals in attendance this year!
Our Keynote Speaker is Don Welsh, President and CEO, Destinations International. A seasoned tourism executive with more than 40 years of experience in the industry, Don Welsh has held positions with almost every sector within the travel and tourism industry. Destinations International is the global trade association for convention and visitors bureaus and tourism boards. Walt Leger, President & CEO of New Orleans & Company, will join Don to discuss navigating our industry today and forward.
As an added reason to attend this very special meeting, immediately following our program, all attendees are invited to stay to experience the Expressions of America outdoor sound and lights exhibit…well worth the extra 20 minutes to see this fabulous show!
