Strategic Partnership Opportunity to leverage Dayton International Airport and regional convention partners by offering Destination Dayton co-marketing and joint event packages to attract larger national conferences and multi-day meetings, expanding both reach and revenue.

Leadership Continuity Recent leadership change with John Oney appointed as president and CEO signals potential strategic shifts and renewed investment in sales, branding, and partnerships—perfect timing for outreach with tailored proposals and new business development initiatives.

Event Synergy Active collaborations with major events like Winter Guard International create access points for venue + service bundles, sponsorships, and destination marketing deals that can be extended to other cultural and sports events to drive bookings.

Midmarket Focus Revenue tier positions Destination Dayton in the mid-market segment; targeting associations and regional corporates with 200–800 attendees could yield repeat bookings, faster sales cycles, and complementary service offerings.

Tech Enablement Existing tech stack tools (Microsoft 365, analytics, design platforms) enable data-driven outreach, personalized content, and digital event experiences; leverage these for targeted campaigns and virtual/in-person hybrid event solutions.
