2026 Annual Conference

April 30th, 2026

Join Us as Revolutionary Valley Moves Forward

The same current that sparked revolutions in Revolutionary Valley, from the fight for independence to the rise of American industry, continues to shape our region today.

At the 2026 Annual Conference, tourism leaders, community partners, and innovators will come together to explore how collaboration, creativity, and bold thinking are driving the next chapter of our Valley.

Join us on April 30, 2026, from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at the Courtyard by Marriott Boston North in Billerica for a morning of connection, insight, and shared momentum.

The conference will feature:

  • A networking breakfast with exhibitors and partners
  • A presentation from the Massachusetts Office of Travel & Tourism
  • Special guests
  • A live guitar performance

Attendees will also take part in two key panel conversations:

  • Inclusivity & Accessibility in Tourism – creating welcoming experiences for all
  • Creating Community Connections – building partnerships and maximizing impact with limited resources

Whether you’re part of the Merrimack Valley or one of the many communities across the Revolutionary Valley, this conference is designed for you.

Discover how regional tourism can support your work, strengthen your connections, and create new opportunities across the Valley.

Our DMO is one of 16 legislatively designated Massachusetts Regional Tourism Councils, responsible for promoting the region’s 21 cities and towns as a premier destination for leisure travel, group tours, meetings, conferences, sporting events, and more.

Time: 8am-12pm
