Call for Proposals! Share Best Practices and Case Studies in a Wednesday Webinar

NYSTIA is hosting weekly virtual workshops in an informal, "coffee and conversation" format from 9:15 am to 9:45 am every Wednesday from September 17th to December 10th, 2025.  

NYSTIA Wednesday Webinars are briskly paced, informative and themed to provide tactical 'know how' and 'how to' insights into best practice tourism-related marketing/management. We will also be reviewing the proposed workshops for possible inclusion in our live, in-person events.

The workshops ARE  NOT sales proposals or 'pitches'. Rather, they are an opportunity to demonstrate knowledge, expertise and efficacy. This format not only enables peer-to-peer networking, it often results in new client contacts and new revenues for solutions providers.

We will update the NYSTIA events page, social posts and newsletter to promote each workshop/webinar. NYSTIA 'Members-with-Members' will be encouraged to invite their members to register, increasing the potential audience size. Each webinar is recorded and archived for post-event access.

Prior experience has proven the following format to be successful:

• Welcome and introductions. (5 minutes or less)
• Workshop Topic Overview: 10-15 slides regarding the strategy, technology, technique, etc., that is being presented (10-15 minutes max). 
• Case History - Share a real-world case, ideally one involving your organization, demonstrating efficacy, results, etc. (5 minutes)
• Q&A - Opportunity for attendees to ask for details, seek clarification, etc. (5 minutes) 
• Conclusion/Thank you/NYSTIA Housekeeping (5 minutes or less)

*Please send your slide deck to Brooke Wilson no later than 2 weeks in advance*
