REGISTRATION HAS BEEN SUSPENDED - WE WILL REOPEN ASAP

Attention Fellow Tourism Partners

Due to the COVID-19 crisis currently impacting us all, we are postponing conference registration.
We will re-open registration ASAP.

Please look for an email from NYSTIA announcing registration re-opening with the new schedule.

The 2020 New York State Tourism Conference has been rescheduled from the original April dates to November 16-18. It is our sincere hope that registrants and sponsors will sustain their commitments and participate in November. We fully expect to have a re-imagined event, integrating key elements of both the Conference and Annual Meeting while addressing the 'here and now' priorities of the current crisis.

We recognize that economic realities may require that you request a refund now and re-evaluate your commitment to the November event later in the year. Requests for refunds should be directed to Christine at Christine@NYSTIA.org,and should specify the dollar amount, nature (registration, sponsorship, etc) and recipient/address for the refund requested.
Refunds will be issued by check without any administrative fee*. Please allow three to four weeks for the processing to occur.*If you require that the refund be processed against the credit card originally used for payment, a $15 fee to cover bank/processing charges and administrative time will be applied to each transaction.
