Join the AIA Minnesota Design Team Committee for their annual retreat as we explore the intersection of design and community engagement through the lens of tourism. Invited panelists Joe Czapiewski, Dan Hartman, Cindy Myogeto, and Xinyi Qian represent a variety of organizations and perspectives as they share their thoughts, ideas, and resources related to tourism.
Our esteemed panel of experts will delve into these thought-provoking questions:
- How does your organization serve Minnesota communities?
- What is one of the biggest misconceptions you’ve run into regarding tourism?
- What untapped opportunities do you see relative to tourism in Minnesota or your community?
- What role do volunteers play in tourism in your community or organization? What draws volunteers to be interested in supporting tourism?
- Are there any industry trends or shifts in thought you see in tourism?
- What are the biggest challenges or threats you see to Minnesota tourism?
- How do you balance seasonality with maintaining community vitality year-round? Do you see opportunities to lengthen your prime season(s)?
