This year, we will discuss how to:
- Measure your success: What information should you be measuring, what tools should you use, and how can you interpret what you gather?
- Simplify your data: How do you take all your data and distill it into actionable takeaways that make your operation more efficient and easier to navigate for guests and team members?
- Educate your audience: How can you best communicate and implement change with your team members and guests to create positive momentum?
- And lead your industry: How do you stay on the cutting edge of technology and engagement trends and implement those at your attraction?
Have a topic you’d like to present or hear about? A success story you’d like to share? Send us your thoughts.
Agenda
This year’s informative sessions will revolve around the central themes of measuring your success, simplifying your data, educating your audience and leading your industry. Of course, we always like to add some fun to our UGMs, so we will also hold two evening social events: a Welcome Reception the night prior to the meeting, and a Networking Event after the first day.
