9129122,'10:52 AM <br />Response 2.'1* <br />LTAC Clerk Review <br />Why would tourists travel to Kittitas County to attend your evenVactivity/facility? <br />The topics cover a range of topics that are very relevant to the areas surrounding <br />Kittitas County. By piggy backing with a tour or other activity the offering becomes <br />an attractive offering. To be clear, the intent of these summits is too have topics <br />that have regional interest and will attract from outside our county. <br />These are highly targeted audiences that should find the specific topic very <br />relevant and enticing to attend. For instance, in the case of the Hospitality Summit <br />- we will be targeting hotel operators, restaurant owners, and event planners not <br />only in ourcounty, but surrounding counties as well. we will be using the various <br />associations that those members are part of to promote the summit (CVBs, <br />Hospitality Association, WFEA, etc.) <br />The chamber has a number of professional connections we can tap into to bring <br />high quality speakers to the summits. The quality of the speakers/presenters is a <br />key part of our strategy. Our current list of presenters include: <br />Bruce Skinner - President - Washington Fairs and Events Association <br />Anthony Anton - President - Washington Hospitality Association <br />Hillary Jensen - OwneriOperator - The Patch Farms <br />Cole Provence - Lecturer- CWU Craft Brewing Program <br />Based on funding, availability of venues and tour locations - additional speakers <br />will be added. <br />2500 character limit <br />lf-app-16-03.co.kittitas.wa.us/Forms/form/submission/history/77548/85643?hideHeader=true 5t13
