Sales - Executive Update
January 2017

 

BIG Wins:

  • Phillip J. Jones, President and CEO of VisitDallas, took over as Chairman of the PCMA Education Foundation during the Convening Leaders event in Austin, TX!
  • January was a busy kick-off to trade show season as VisitDallas rolls out its new brand at PCMA and Southwest Showcase events in Austin. 235 customers hosted at two client events, representing association and corporate customers nationally, as well as the state of Texas. These customers in FY 2015-2016 accounted for 120 definite bookings, and we're looking forward to more.
  • Overall for convention sales, leads made a jump in January as well:
