WHY ATTEND?

EXPANDING THE PLAYBOOK FOR SPORTS TOURISM
Rendezvous Meet & Compete brings together the planners, rights holders, destinations, venues, and industry partners behind the growing world of indoor sports, competitive games, hobbies, and enthusiast gatherings. From chess and esports to spelling bees, cup stacking, specialty competitions, and smaller-scale conventions, RMC creates a place for these unique events to connect with destinations ready to host them.
 
SMALL SPACES, BIG OPPORTUNITIES

The next opportunity in sports tourism may not need an arena, a stadium, or a massive convention center footprint. Rendezvous Meet & Compete shines a light on the events that can thrive in smaller meeting spaces while still bringing people to a destination. For planners and rights holders, that means more places to take their events. For hotels, convention centers, and destinations, it means another opportunity to turn underutilized indoor space into overnight stays, visitor spending, and future business.


MAKE ROOM FOR THE RIGHT CONNECTIONS

Rendezvous Meet & Compete creates meaningful opportunities for qualified planners and rights holders to connect with hotels, convention centers, destinations, and other venues equipped to host their events.
Full-length, pre-scheduled appointments give both sides time to talk through the details that matter: space, dates, room needs, event requirements, attendee experience, and what makes a destination the right fit. No rushing through a pitch. Just time to explore what could work.

WHAT TO EXPECT

CALM & COMFORTABLE

Our destination teams are given full, living-room-style setups including couches, armchairs, coffee tables, and more! This comfortable and relaxed setting makes for the perfect environment to get the most out of our lengthy 15-minute appointments! 

HERE LESS MEANS MORE

We know that true, lasting industry partnerships grow best in an intimate and relaxed setting. Our magic ratio of planners to destination teams allows for unparalleled access to top prospects and fellow industry peers.

A ONE-STOP-SHOP

Attending destination teams consist of key decision makers from each city and typically include representatives from the CVB, a Convention/Conference Center, and local hotels. Planners can see just how well these destinations work together to deliver great event experiences.
