New Tactics and Insights Explored at the Tech Summit

In an event recap article in a Visit Santa Cruz County (VSCC) publication, it was noted that the 2022 DMA West Tech Summit “presentations and workshops covered a variety of topics such as rethinking ROI, leveraging LinkedIn for meetings and groups, tactics and trends around social media advertising, and best marketing practices for DMOs. Labs, vendor showcases, and educational sessions led by industry experts focused on rising trends in the digital marketing industry. VSCC staff returned with new ideas about how to utilize social media and digital platforms as well as ways to assist partners in growing their own online presence.”

Representatives from western DMOs and vendor company representatives joined expert speakers at the 17th Tech Summit & Vendor Showcase, March 30 - April 1, in Tucson.
