On behalf of the NET Design Team and Wisconsin Sea Grant, I’m looking forward to welcoming you to Milwaukee in September! This will be the first time the NET Conference is taking place in Wisconsin, which borders two Great Lakes and is a premiere agritourism destination. This year’s theme, “Envisioning the Future of Extension in Tourism,” invites us to imagine how we move the industry forward given the lessons learned over the past few years, especially around the COVID-19 pandemic and social justice issues. As the foremost networking event for Cooperative Extension and Sea Grant professionals working in tourism and outdoor recreation, Milwaukee is an excellent backdrop, given the city’s recent revitalization and recognition as a top place to visit in 2023 by National Geographic.
This is an outstanding opportunity for Extension professionals, academic faculty, industry professionals, and others working in the broad area of tourism and recreation, including tourism service providers and businesses, to share programs, initiatives, research, and success stories, and network with other professionals. The conference is open to all industry and academic professionals.
I look forward to sharing more details soon and to seeing you in Wisconsin!
