Host a Conference

Destinations chosen to host a future MTJA meeting are invited to send one rep to the meeting held immediately prior to their conference. The opportunity to spur interest and to experience an MTJA meeting first-hand is invaluable. Promotion typically takes place at the MTJA business meeting and may include a short personal invitation and video presentation. The future host rep also may participate in the Media Marketplace event to network with Active members. In addition, the future host will be invited to send a rep to the two meetings immediately following yours to maintain contact with MTJA members.

Future/past host representatives register and pay Associate member rates for conference registration, transportation, lodging and incidentals.

Future site hosts are promoted in MTJA’s monthly newsletter and our members-only Facebook page beginning about six months prior to the convention hosted. Additionally, a recap including copy and images about attendees’ experiences at the destination is included in the newsletter immediately following the convention hosted.

Future site hosts are provided with a complimentary copy of MTJA’s Directory, which lists contact info for all members and a list of outlets for which they write.

I love my MTJA membership for so many reasons. Professionally, I have made solid, fruitful connections with amazing writers, editors and photographers. I’ve also met some really creative, talented PR professionals who’ve given me so many ideas to learn from. Our conference hosts work very diligently to plan our meetings in their cities. I feel grateful for this giant MTJA family!
