Tempest was proud to attend and serve as an Industry Partner for the 2024 Upper Midwest Convention and Visitors Bureau (UMCVB) Fall Conference, held last week in picturesque Rochester, MN. During the event, our team of experts presented case studies on successful stakeholder engagement strategies (alongside partners from Visit Saint Paul and Meet Minneapolis) and showcased the powerful new iDSS Group Pace reporting tool, which enhances sales effectiveness. We also spent plenty of time exploring the area and reconnecting with our valued destination partners in the region. Special thanks to Experience Rochester MN for being wonderful hosts, and to Tempest’s Events & Marketing Specialist, Erin Bowers, for her outstanding work in coordinating this year’s conference!

This week, a few members of our team traveled to sunny Oceanside, CA, for California Travel Association's annual Summit. It was rewarding to connect face-to-face with so many of our California destination partners, celebrate their successes, and forge new bonds and partnerships throughout the week. 🌅🏖🏄🏻♀️ To close out the event, Tempest was honored to partner with our longtime collaborators at Visit Long Beach to host this year's PAC Fundraising Dinner, which featured an oceanfront meal followed by a rocking concert showcasing the multitalented individuals in our industry. 🎸
