Please join TIAM at its second AGM and an Advocacy Forum, October 7 and 8, 2025 at the Fort Garry Hotel in Winnipeg, Manitoba. We’re looking forward to another great event with partners Travel Manitoba and Tourism Winnipeg.
The Advocacy Forum topics include a session on sustainability services such as carbon footprint reporting, how to effectively use Google maps, and an update on the Agritourism Corridor. It will also include two sessions with Travel Manitoba and Tourism Winnipeg to provide a clear picture of the understanding of these two important organizations who work with tourism businesses.
As an added bonus, there will be a 1/2 day workshop on the day prior to the Forum. Participation in the Belong workshop will increase your awareness of disability inclusion and enhance your understanding of the significant benefits of hiring, retaining, and promoting persons with disabilities. Once registered for the Advocacy Forum, you will be sent a link and promo code to register for the workshop. Numbers for the Belong workshop are limited.
The agenda will continue to be updated.
