MACVB Annual Conference
With Andrew Davis
Jill,
Chatting with you about the MACVB Annual Conference was great. The event sounds like such fun, and I'd love to be a part of it!
I spent some time crafting a session description for the Triumphs, Anomalies & Myths keynote, which you'll find below. I'm thrilled to offer this session along with an Unplugged version. It's going to be a blast.
You'll also find an overview of the event experiences we've created for over 250,000 attendees in the last decade.
You'll find my fee information and all that's included at the end of this document.
I look forward to making this year's event memorable, inspiring, and action-packed!
This is going to be great!

Keynote Session
MACVB Annual Conference
Triumphs, Anomalies & Myths
How daring destinations use simple stories to attract visitors from around the world.
We’re good at marketing the attractions, virtues, and values of the our Missouri cities and towns. 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 power of origin stories 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.
For three years, former television producer and marketing agency executive Andrew Davis crisscrossed America uncovering the simple things smart cities and towns do to attract visitors year-in and year-out and what he found is incredible.
In this exhilarating hour-long keynote presentation, 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 the way you describe your city, town, or county and why your story will determine your future.
What's your story, and who does it serve?

We'll tackle the most significant obstacles facing you and your team with nothing but a dry-erase board and a few marketers. Whether you're marketing an unknown town, or a tourist hot-spot - let's learn how to uncover, tell, and share our stories.
