July 1 marked the beginning of a new fiscal year for the Pennsylvania Tourism & Lodging Association. During the next twelve months, your Association will hold a full slate of outstanding conferences in the coming year. 2007/2008 is the third year that your Association has taken a new direction and offered a series of conferences designed for specific management personnel.

Each conference offers outstanding educational sessions, networking opportunities and access to the latest industry products and services under one roof.
