Oregon's Premier Gathering for Tourism Professionals

Save the dates on your calendar:
2014 Oregon Governor's Conference on Tourism, April 27-29, 2014 at Sunriver Resort.

Each spring Oregon’s tourism and hospitality industry comes together at the Oregon Governor’s Conference on Tourism. We gather to educate, share, and develop new ways to create the best Oregon Experience possible for our visitors – and the industry itself.

Our theme and focus for 2013 is on the great people and actions that have made Oregon an innovative and creative place to do business. Oregon loves dreamers. From wagon trains and adventurous souls wheeling towards the Willamette Valley, to elected leaders' visionary acts to preserve Oregon's landscapes, to today's entrepreneurs transforming our state into a thriving destination for technology, creativity and adventure -- Oregon is a beacon for innovation.

We hope you'll join us as we celebrate the mavericks who've helped Oregon, and hear from top-thinkers who'll stoke that creative fire to keep imagining a better, brighter way.

A top-notch educational program attracts a full spectrum of tourism and hospitality industry attendees. Among the many opportunities: 

• KEYNOTE PRESENTERS of national and regional stature, on topics of Oregon interest, including exciting developments in technology and tourism to grow your business
