Last week, we had the pleasure to welcome more than 300 tourism professionals to Utica for the 2026 New York State Tourism Conference. This year marked a new record for NYSTIA, as demand led us to close registration a full week early for the first time. The result: a full house, record attendance, and an energy that carried through every session, conversation, and event.
To everyone who joined us in Utica, thank you! Your engagement, ideas, and enthusiasm are what make this conference so valuable year after year. We hope you brought home fresh ideas, new connections, and renewed momentum for the year ahead!
Behind the scenes, this conference is powered by a dedicated group of partners and volunteers. Thank you to our event committee, our hosts, and everyone who contributed to making the experience seamless and collaborative. This year’s program featured a wide range of perspectives and insights from across the industry, and to all of our partners, presenters, panelists, and session organizers: thank you for contributing to the event by sharing your insights, time and expertise.
