Fall is upon us yet again, and GRCVB is ready to share what we've been up to throughout 2026 at our upcoming Tourism Talk Live, Nov. 5, at Trophy Five Points. 

For newer Bureau partners who are unaware, Tourism Talk Live is GRCVB's quarterly marketing update meeting where we share what we've been working on 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.

We've changed things up for this quarter's meeting, with our first-ever Tourism Talk Live "Update & Unwind"! Our afternoon will begin at 3pm with a short networking session to welcome partners before our presentations. Upon checking in, attendees will be given one drink ticket (good for beer, wine or soft drink) to enjoy following our agenda:

• a presentation from our agency of record, Avenir Bold, on recent advertising campaigns;
• an update from the marketing team at Atlantic Union Bank Convention Center on the convention campus enhancements;
• and the latest from from the GRCVB content marketing team.

Trophy Five Points is located at 207 Bickett Blvd., Raleigh, NC 27608 in the Five Points neighborhood. 

Parking is available in the side lot of Trophy Five Points, and parking along the street is free.

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 patrons throughout the year and network with other hospitality partners around the county.

Registration is now open through Mon., Nov. 2; 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 Trophy!
