2025 is here, and we're eager to get this year started right with another Tourism Talk Live! 

If you're new to partnering with us, Tourism Talk Live is GRCVB's quarterly marketing update meeting in which we share with our partners what we've been up to and how we can work together better in the future to promote visitation to Wake County. We also invite partners to share updates from their businesses that could help others succeed. 

GRCVB's Winter Tourism Talk Live will be Thurs., Feb. 20, at 10am at The Maxwell. The Maxwell is an 8,000-square-foot, upscale wedding and event venue south of downtown Raleigh. The distinctly elegant space boasts 18' vaulted ceilings, white washed brick, reclaimed oak wood accents, a lush lawn and an open air patio.

Our winter edition of Tourism Talk Live will be in a roundtable format where attendees will rotate between GRCVB's various departments. Bureau colleagues will share how each department works to grow visitation within Raleigh and Wake County and how they can best work with you in the future! 

We'll begin our morning at 10am with a short networking session including refreshments, followed by our roundtables beginning at 10:30am.

The Maxwell is at 330 Gideon Creek Way, Raleigh, NC 27603. Parking is available in the venue lot.

We ask all hospitality industry partners in Wake County to consider attending; this is a great way to meet GRCVB staff, determine the best ways to attract visitors as your patrons throughout the year and network with other hospitality partners around the county.

Registration is now open through Mon., Feb. 17; for questions regarding Tourism Talk Live or if you are interested in hosting a future quarterly marketing meeting of GRCVB, contact marketing manager Andrew H. Baker, TMP, FEP, here.

We look forward to seeing you at The Maxwell!
