Local Brands Unite - DIY Tourism Marketing Conference Postponed to March 2025 Due to Hurricane Helene
A digtial marketing class at the DIY Tourism Marketing Conference in Asheville.
The decision to postpone was driven by the extensive damage to essential services, including widespread power outages, disrupted internet and cell services, washed-out roadways, and the unavailability of city water in most of Asheville. These conditions have posed significant logistical challenges, impacting the safety and comfort of conference attendees and speakers.
We are incredibly grateful for The Renaissance Hotel's (https://www.marriott.com/en-us/hotels/avlbr-renaissance-asheville-downtown-hotel/experiences/explore-asheville/) unwavering support and extraordinary flexibility during this challenging time. Their immediate responsiveness and willingness to collaborate in rescheduling the event exemplifies their commitment to our community and the conference's success. We also extend our heartfelt thanks to all those who have supported us during this difficult period.
Despite the current hardships, the Asheville community has shown remarkable resilience. Local, state, and federal officials are working tirelessly to restore essential services, and the support from neighboring states and communities beyond the Southeast has been invaluable in assisting recovery efforts. This collective effort is a testament to the strength and unity of our community.
The DIY Tourism Marketing Conference remains committed to providing tourism professionals with cutting-edge digital marketing strategies and tools. During the 2025 event, attendees can expect sessions on digital storytelling, social media strategies, AI marketing platforms, SEO, and more, all designed to equip them with actionable skills to enhance their marketing efforts.
Co-founder and producer Sarah Benoit expressed her heartfelt sentiments for the Asheville community: "While the road to recovery for Asheville is challenging, the strength and solidarity of our community are unmatched. We're excited to bring the conference back in March 2025 with renewed energy and a commitment to support the city's revitalization through innovative tourism marketing strategies."
