Community Marketing has been a catalyst for the Dallas Convention & Visitors Bureau. Participating in CMI's International Conference on Gay & Lesbian Tourism has increased my awareness and has allowed me to network, develop partnerships, and find new business. This conference is one that we attend annually, and one that I refer all my colleagues in the industry to attend and become engaged.

------------------------

CMI's International Conference on Gay & Lesbian Tourism is one of the best opportunities that CVBs, suppliers and media have to all come together to dialog on trends surrounding gay and lesbian consumers. This conference is exceptional in addressing the buying patterns and changing media involved in the LGBT audience. If you want approaches to researching, planning and booking travel, you should not miss this conference. The opportunity to meet with colleagues focused on this category, and to hear first hand what they are doing to address this niche, is priceless to us. We find the sessions invaluable and the breakouts are not to be missed.

I always enjoy Community Marketing's International Conference on Gay & Lesbian Tourism. I look forward each year to reuniting with past participants as well as meeting the attendees new to the gay & lesbian tourism community. The programs offered are diverse, educational and appeal to each aspect of the tourism industry. The variety of industry services and niches represented in the attendees has allowed for unexpected partnerships to form. Overall, attending each year has proven successful for EIS.

CMI's 8th International Conference on Gay & Lesbian Tourism in Fort Lauderdale was the best educational event I have ever attended. This was our first time and we are already planning to attend next year's Conference in Vancouver. The seminars were incredibly informative and it was great to network with my CVB peers.
