DCI Marketing Summit

Are you an economic development marketing professional with 10+ years of experience? Are you interested in learning about “next practices” in economic development marketing?

If so, we invite you to join DCI’s senior leadership team and your counterparts from around North America for DCI’s 12th Annual Marketing Summit, bringing together expertise and innovation. DCI’s Marketing Summit is an interactive experience that tackles the industry’s most pressing issues, challenges and questions.

This year’s Marketing Summit will take place in New York, New York on September 30-October 2, 2024 at The Standard High Line, a hip hotel on Manhattan’s West Side overlooking the Hudson River. We’ll kick off with a Welcome Reception at 4 pm on Monday, September 30 and have a full day of fast-paced sessions on October 1, culminating in a dinner in the Meatpacking District. On Wednesday, October 2, you are free to participate in an optional walking tour, explore on your own or head home.

The content will focus on economic development best practices in websites, social media, public relations, digital advertising, influencers and branding, among others. We’ll also give a top-line overview of our new Talent Wars research. And of course, we’ll make time for the “Summit tradition” of hearing directly from attendees on what is working and not working in your own marketing programs.

The price for the DCI Marketing Summit is $2,950/person and includes access to the full Summit programming, hotel for Monday and Tuesday nights, the Monday Welcome Reception, and all meals on Tuesday. Applications may be submitted below. Attendance is limited to 25 people.

Join your fellow senior-level marketing peers from around the country who are all working diligently to advance their organizations and destinations. We invite you to come, learn and grow together, contributing to a stronger and more inclusive industry.
