A New Initiative for 2026!
VRLTA’s 2026 Regional Seminars bring hospitality and tourism professionals together for a full day of practical education, industry insights, and meaningful collaboration. Each event features a dynamic general session designed to inform attendees about current trends, workforce opportunities, and emerging issues shaping our statewide tourism economy. After the general session, participants will move into targeted breakout tracks that offer deeper, more specialized takeaways for restaurants, hotels, attractions, DMOs, and tourism-aligned businesses.
All attendees will enjoy lunch and access to our on-site Resource Fair, where VRLTA partners, suppliers, and service providers can showcase offerings directly relevant to operators across the Commonwealth. For sponsors and exhibitors, these seminars offer an unparalleled opportunity to connect with decision-makers in key markets, strengthen regional relationships, and demonstrate your company’s commitment to advancing Virginia’s hospitality community!
