In keeping with our mission to support African-American vendors and suppliers in the hospitality/travel/tourism industry, Black Meetings & Tourism is holding its annual African-American Meet Up in Las Vegas on October 8 at the Classic Jewel.   The gathering is scheduled to unfold between 6-10 p.m. at the restaurant located at 353 E. Bonneville Avenue in Las Vegas.   Planners and other industry colleagues are invited to attend this eagerly awaited event for an evening of spectacular networking, great food and drink.   This is also our opportunity to promote cooperation and collaboration in our community, and the concept of working together for the betterment of all.

Special thanks goes out to Sherri Brown, Vice President of Multicultural Sales & Development at Visit Tampa Bay, and Tony Gladney, Vice President of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at MGM Resorts International, both of whom are longtime supporters of the African-American market segment.   As an added bonus, we can all help Brown celebrate her 16 ^th anniversary at Visit Tampa Bay.  

I'm also sending a shout out to our planners Katrina Ruff and Tiara Ruff, and their team at Forums Meetings & Events, for their stellar work in pulling this Meet Up together.
