Iowa Tourism Conference
With Andrew Davis
Katie,
It was great chatting with you yesterday about next year's Iowa Tourism Conference. I spent some time this morning crafting a session description for the Triumphs, Anomalies, & Myths keynote. After some consideration and your feedback about the AI session, I feel like this session would have the most impact on our audience.
I look forward to your feedback on the idea!
You'll also find an overview of the event experiences we've created for over 250,000 attendees in the last decade.
I look forward to making next year's event memorable, inspiring, and action-packed!
This is going to be great!

Keynote Session
Iowa Tourism Conference
Triumphs, Anomalies & Myths
How daring destinations use simple stories to attract visitors from around the world.
We're good at marketing Iowa's attractions, virtues, and values. We create compelling imagery, poetic prose, and produce impressive videos, all designed to inspire others to visit. But what story are we telling?
It turns out some of the most successful destinations in the world leverage the prophetic power of origin stories and legends to transform their economies. They target a specific audience, understand their passions, and craft a simple tale designed to elicit an emotion.
Why? Because emotion leads to action, while reason leads to conclusions.
In this exhilarating hour-long keynote presentation, former television producer and marketing agency executive Andrew Davis will show you how others have built flourishing economies by telling their story. You'll learn how visionaries have transformed entire cities and how origin stories create a powerful sense of place. He'll challenge you to change how you describe your Iowa city or town and why your legends will determine your future.
What's your story, and who does it serve?
