The Visit Savannah team made a strong showing at Connect Marketplace, held Aug. 24–26 in Tampa, Florida, connecting with meeting and event planners from across the sports, association and corporate markets.

Visit Savannah’s sales team was joined by partners from the Savannah Convention Center, Hotel Bardo, and the soon-to-open Recess Hotel, showcasing Savannah’s expanding meetings and hospitality offerings.

Each team member participated in more than 30 one-on-one appointments, generating promising RFPs and leads for incentive programs, citywide meetings, corporate events, and sports business.

Connect Marketplace brings together event professionals, destinations, venues, and hospitality partners for targeted appointments, networking, and industry education across key meeting and event sectors.

For Visit Savannah and its local partners, the show provides valuable face-to-face access to decision-makers actively sourcing destinations and venues, helping keep Savannah top of mind for future business while creating new opportunities for the hotels, attractions, venues, and hospitality partners our sales team represents.
