Topics include being creative with fundraising, public private partnerships, and the positives of a good relationship between economic development and tourism. 

"At the county and the city level, there are so many opportunities to connect the dots between tourism and economic development. They really should work hand in hand because tourism is a great form of economic development... Tourism is really the welcome mat to business". - Ryan Starks
