Galveston Tourism Summit 2026
With Andrew Davis
Shawna,
It was fantastic speaking with you about the Galveston Tourism Summit last week. I love the vision you have for the 125th anniversary of the 1900 hurricane. Resistance as a theme is powerful, and the mobile visitors bureau concept is absolutely brilliant!
As we discussed, I'm excited to present The Laws of Attraction as the keynote and follow it up with the Digital Doppelganger breakout session. This combination will give your attendees both inspiration and practical AI insight to attract more visitors to Galveston.
Below, you'll find the session description we crafted for the event as well as everything that's included in our fee. You'll also find an overview of the event experiences we've created for over 250,000 attendees in the last decade.
I'm looking forward to making this anniversary event a truly memorable milestone for Galveston and helping celebrate your community's incredible resilience!
Let's make this happen!

Keynote Session
Galveston Tourism Summit 2026
Laws of Attraction
How daring dreamers turn serendipity into a success!
Galveston is a great place to visit. It's full of great people, passionate business owners, and dedicated hospitality professionals. We have a rich history, and we're proud of our resilient past. We're excited about attracting the innovators and the dreamers, and we want to define our tourism future. But who exactly are we trying to attract?
It turns out some of the most successful placemakers are people you've likely never heard of. These visionaries have leveraged the power of the online world to get rich by targeting a niche. They've inspired entire communities to grow their visitor economy by understanding travelers' passions and catering specifically to their emotions. They've filled their hotels, restaurants, and bars by thinking like an entertainment executive.
Over the past three years, former television producer and marketing agency founder Andrew Davis visited 54 cities and towns to determine why some destinations are booming, and others are bust. It turns out that the places seeing unparalleled success do one thing most of us don't: they stake their claim. In fact, they market the place they do business more than the business they do.
In this exhilarating hour-long presentation, Andrew Davis will teach us the five secrets to leveraging the power of the online world to create moments of inspiration. You'll learn how to send visitors on a journey they never expected. To draw tourists to an island they never imagined visiting. But most importantly, you'll learn how to stake Galveston's claim. You'll be inspired to leverage location envy by using the three laws of attraction.
Are you ready to turn serendipity into strategy?
Digital Doppelgänger(s)
How savvy teams are augmenting their unique talents using the magic of AI.
Artificial Intelligence feels like magic.
Draft a smart prompt, and presto! ChatGPT conjures up your visitor guides, crafts your ad campaigns, and devises your social media strategy. You can even commission Google's Gemini to respond to intricate visitor inquiries!
AI is truly awe-inspiring. But most AI-generated content, itineraries, and marketing strategies are generic at best - and nonsense at worst.
That is - until you start building your Digital Doppelgänger.
Your Digital Doppelgänger is your AI-powered creative collaborator. Your virtual twin. They're your brainstorming partner, confidant, writing counterpart, and strategic advisor for all things Galveston tourism.
Your Digital Doppelgänger isn't just AI. They are IA - Intelligence Augmentation.They don't replace your hospitality skills. They enhance your destination expertise.(Of course, they have the power to destroy too.)
In this exhilarating 45-minute session, Andrew Davis (and his Digital Doppelgänger) will show you how to build your very own AI-powered creative collaborators. He'll show you the four-step iterative process one savvy marketer uses to augment their unique writing style, saving 39 valuable working hours. You'll even witness AI's power to destroy trust and learn the only way to avoid it.
Most importantly, Andrew will demonstrate why AI can make YOU more valuable than ever to Galveston's tourism industry.
So, are you ready to create your first Digital Doppelgänger?
