Real Conversations. Lasting Connections.

"I keep coming back because there’s always something new to learn, but I also really value the smaller, more personal nature of the conference. It creates more opportunities for real conversations about event planning, logistics, and the challenges we all face in putting on a race. I appreciate that it’s not just about what I can learn, but also about being able to share my own experiences and advice with others in the industry. There’s a real give and take that I think is only possible in a smaller setting, and I’ve built relationships with other race professionals that extend well beyond the conference and give me people I can call on throughout the year."

Bethany Lueck

Director of Sponsorship and Communications

Lilac Bloomsday Association

The host hotel is the Marriott Hollywood Beach, just yards from the sand and the ocean and 6 miles from the Ft. Lauderdale/Hollywood airport, offering a tranquil environment for event directors and industry vendors not only to stay abreast of cutting-edge topics facing the sport, but also to unwind and network in a low key atmosphere. Many race committees reward committee members or staff with a trip to this meeting, finding it a great way to offer a special thank you, an educational opportunity and a rejuvenating few days at the beach.

Race Directors’ Meeting attendees can take advantage of the special RRM rate of $224 per night at the Marriott Hollywood Beach.
