Dear Agritourism
Partners -- Escapemaker's
Virtual Agritourism Conference maximizes your time, budget
and resources and focuses on creative solutions to help you thrive!
Watch at your convenience 24/7!
 The
local travel landscape is rapidly changing to meet the demands
of the corporate, event and leisure travel sectors.
If you're a farmer, craft beverage producer, winemaker,
restaurateur or Destination Marketing Organization,
there's more opportunity than ever to capture these markets, as
long as you're armed with the latest skills to keep your target
demographic coming back for more!
But
who has the time to attend an all-day conference when you're trying
to actually
run a business? Not us. And not you. Thus, our virtual conference
was born! So we're coming to you; your barn, tasting room, restaurant
or your living room. All you have to do is press play, let the
learning begin and the dollars roll in!
 It's
up to all of us to build this industry through solid sustainability
practices, policy change, collaboration, dedication and innovation!
LET'S MAKE AN IMPACT!
Each of the 12 digital presentations is 25-45 minutes long, includes
access to info on Kiva.org financing, plus additional workshop
downloads and links to more resources. All combined, the conference
is 6+ hours of education. Plus, all speakers share in the conference
profits and/or promotions for their organizations, so you'll feel
great by supporting women leaders in our industry!
