ESTO Sponsorship Opportunities

ESTO is the premier tourism destination marketing conference in the United States and is the only national forum where professionals from urban and regional destinations come together with their peers from state tourism offices.  It combines high-quality educational programming and indispensable social networking with unique destination attributes to create an unforgettable meeting experience.  This immensely popular annual event draws more than 400 delegates, representing nearly every state tourism office and over 100 local and regional destination marketing organizations around the country. 

Sponsoring ESTO gives your organization unparalleled opportunities for:

• Access – to a concentrated, exclusive destination audience that does not exist at any other meeting at any other time of the year.
• Engagement - in one-on-one discussions over the duration of the conference with key destination marketing and advertising decision makers.
• Exclusivity - a limited number of sponsorships are available and only destination organizations are able to attend.
• Exposure – to state, region and urban destination marketing organizations that control more than $250 million in domestic advertising.
• Industry immersion – to be a part of the ESTO community, lending credibility and familiarity to your name, face and organization.
