A new forum for 2019, the year of Brexit, bringing national, regional, city, place making and economic development teams together. We'll focus on how a collaborative and cohesive place brand strategy can attract tourism, talent and trade. Supported by the GREAT Britain campaign, Visit Britain and the Department for International Trade, this event will highlight: what's needed to impress an international audience; how to engage citizens in the vision for economic development; and how collaboration between stakeholders can maximise reach, impact and resources.

Join us in our new venue in West Hollywood for the third annual City Nation Place Americas, the forum which brings together destination marketing organisations, economic development boards, mayoral teams, and BID and neighbourhood development organisations for a program which combines conference, workshops, place-shaping tours and unbeatable networking.

The first City Nation Place forum designed to address the particular opportunities and challenges for nations and cities across South and Central America, and the Caribbean to drive economic development through an effective place branding and marketing strategy.  Join us in Costa Rica in September to learn from a melting pot of ideas and experience.
