Pre-Conference Fam

The 2012 Governor’s Conference on Tourism includes a pre-conference fam that will bring domestic and international buyers to Nevada and opportunities for the industry to have 1:1 contact with them. If you would like to participate in this trip, you must pre-register. The fee for this portion of the conference is $125, plus travel to the conference and additional room nights.

You may choose to participate for a shorter period of time than the entire trip. Please contact Claudette Thompson (cthompson@travelnevada.com) to inquire about customizing your participation and the associated fees.

If you would like to participate only in the dinner at the Governor’s Mansion on Dec. 3, please let us know. This is limited to the first 200 who register. The fee for the dinner only is $35 per person and requires advanced registration (deadline Nov. 15).
