Learn Today, Do Tomorrow!
This is the educator-built conference where ideas turn into action. You’ll practice new skills in small, hands-on sessions, connect one-on-one with speakers, and move through three focused learning tracks designed so teams can learn together and apply together.
Every session is selected for learning value, and our promise is the same from start to finish: transformation, engagement, and accessibility.

What People Said about Our 2025 Conference
This was my second time attending the DIY Tourism Conference, and it’s always such a valuable experience. As a small, rural DMO, we often have to do things in-house, and this conference makes it more attainable for us.
This conference always provides us with practical tips and creative new ideas. I always leave feeling refreshed and excited to try out what I’ve learned!
As a smaller DMO team, this has been one of the most actionable conferences we have yet to attend. All of the speakers brought in are incredibly knowledgeable in their digital marketing areas. The resources gained here are realistic to any size DMO. We will absolutely be attending again in the future to gain more insights and resources to help our destination grow.
I’ve really enjoyed the inclusive, classroom feel of this conference the last two years I’ve attended. This is one of a few conferences that are actually collaborative and engaging, not just presentation after presentation, free recyclable material, and the ‘how great it must be to be them’ feeling/longing. Great event in an amazing city!
This is the best seminar for DMO’s. The information gained allows you to begin using it when you return to your office.
