20th Annual Spotlight on the Southwest
April 8-10, 2018
Tucson AZ
Pre-Fam - April 5-8, 2018
Save the dates – April 8-10, 2018 at Desert Diamond Resort and Casino in Tucson AZ! Spotlight on the Southwest is a tourism conference which combines educational seminars, networking functions and a trade show. Operators are primarily domestic (including Canada) and range from small operations to large receptive companies (and everything in between). The ratio of suppliers to operators is never more than 2.5 to 1.
Spotlight is casual and intimate. We don't just network - we build relationships at Spotlight. There are three days of interaction in which to conduct business. The goal is to build lasting relationships. New tour itineraries to off-the-beaten-path destinations are highlighted, using the closest Southwestern gateway cities and all they have to offer as arrival and departure points.
The first 20 operators to sign up will be included in the Spotlight pre-fam, April 5-8, 2018, Details will be available soon.
