Earlier this month, Travel Salem announced the 2013 Oregon Governor's Conference on Tourism, April 14-16 will take place in Salem, Oregon! This event is Oregon's premier gathering for tourism professionals, and we are honored to participate in hosting this banner event. The annual conference attracts more than 400 attendees for two and a half days of educational seminars, networking, and to develop new ways to create the best Oregon Experience possible for visitors and the industry. Travel Salem, in partnership with the Salem Convention Center, responded to the Travel Oregon bid for a 2013 conference location. The Oregon Governor's Conference has been held in Salem one other time – in 2009. Travel Salem is a non-profit organization that promotes the greater Salem area as a premier, year-round destination for conventions, events and leisure travelers. “This is a great opportunity to showcase Salem and all of the wonderful offerings that make our city and region so attractive to leisure visitors, as well as meeting and event planners.
