The STS Connections Conference is the annual educational event hosted by Southeast Tourism Society that brings together travel industry leaders, destination marketers, and service providers in a format that emphasizes connection over convention. Attendees can expect insightful educational sessions, engaging marketplace interactions, and unforgettable opportunities to network and spark new business ideas.

This year, I’m recording a special series of Field Notes Podcast episodes live from the conference—capturing fresh insights, standout ideas, and real conversations with the people shaping the future of travel and tourism across the Southeast. It’s not just about learning from the stage; it’s about amplifying the hallway conversations that move our industry forward.
