Coming Up! Ohio Travel Talks: Partnerships to Drive Visitorship
with Jessica Rosenblatt from Ohio Arts Professionals Network (OAPN)
Sept. 10 at 11 a.m.
Join Jessica Rosenblatt from The Ohio Arts Professionals Network (OAPN), a statewide membership-based organization dedicated to supporting and growing the touring Arts & Culture industry in Ohio. OAPN represents a diverse network of performing arts centers, theaters, universities, and other presenting organizations across the state.
In this presentation, Jessica will introduce the role these organizations play in bringing professional arts and cultural experiences into communities. From intimate black box theaters and historic venues to large performing arts centers and municipally owned amphitheaters, she will explore how they can also serve as valuable tourism partners.
Attendees will look at opportunities for CVBs, museums, and other tourism organizations to collaborate with arts presenters to attract visitors, encourage overnight stays, connect visitors with local restaurants, attractions and businesses, and create broader community experiences around performances and events. Jessica will share examples of how arts and tourism organizations can work together and highlight partnership opportunities that may already exist within communities across Ohio.
All Ohio Travel Talks begin at 11 a.m. and are free and exclusive to OTA members.
