Ohio Conference on Travel 2026

The conference takes place at Roberts Centre in Wilmington, Ohio.

The organizer identifies attractions, museums, lodging, restaurants, retail, destination marketing organizations, state agencies, and other travel-sector participants as its audience.

It suits Ohio tourism professionals, such as destination marketing staff, attraction and museum managers, and lodging or restaurant operators, since the audience covers attractions, museums, lodging, restaurants, retail and state agencies and the event is held at Roberts Centre in Wilmington, OH, run by the Ohio Travel Association. Suppliers and marketers based outside Ohio would get less from it, because a statewide association meeting is built around in-state relationships and is not a national sales show.

Attendees at state tourism conferences usually wear business casual, with slacks or skirts and collared shirts or blouses, and a blazer for any awards or evening session. Early October in Ohio can be cool, so a light jacket or layer is sensible.
