Tuolumne County Tourism Summit, Awards, & Partner Showcase 2026

It was held at Chicken Ranch Casino Resort Conference Center.

Tourism professionals and partners from Tuolumne County and California attend.

It was most useful for Tuolumne County tourism businesses and partners who wanted a regional read on marketing, since sessions were scheduled to feature Lynn Carpenter of Visit California on trends, Matt Stiker of KHM Travel Group on film and tourism, and Eric Wagner of JourneyLabel on luxury travel. Marketers from outside California would have gotten less, as the content was centred on Tuolumne County and the state, and the day also included the local Tourism Industry Awards.

Tourism professionals at a county summit with an awards component usually wear business casual, a notch smarter for the awards portion. Mid-October mornings can be cool, so a jacket was practical.
