2025 Advocacy Summit

The 2025 Advocacy Summit will convene leaders from across the Destinations International membership to explore the pivotal role of destination promotion in building stronger, more resilient communities. Set in Sacramento, a city known for civic leadership and influence on issues that shape both local and national policy, this year’s Summit offers a timely forum to engage in dialogue, sharpen advocacy efforts and align around a shared vision for community impact. 

As organizations in our sector navigate rising public visibility and evolving political dynamics and growing expectations from residents and stakeholders, the Advocacy Summit creates space for candid conversation, peer learning and collective action. This event is designed for professionals responsible for articulating the value of destination promotion and development to elected officials, community partners and business leaders.
