Networking: 11:30 AM-Noon
Lunch: Noon – 1:00 PM
Where: Atlantis Casino

Meet the team behind North Lake Tahoe’s award-winning Local Luminaries campaign

Presentation Background: To highlight the individuals, marquee events and key destination offerings of North Lake Tahoe, a six-episode series (Local Luminaries) was created to showcase local lives and passions. What connects these individuals and their stories is that they make or do something that a visitor can experience themselves. Viewers follow local tips and lifestyle perspective while also engaging on a deeper level to better understand the destination story.

The Local Luminaries campaign has been awarded Best Content Marketing Initiative by Visit California, and continues to receive national praise almost a year after the first video aired.

Ultimately, the docu-series establishes real brand ambassadors to represent and speak on behalf of the North Lake Tahoe destination while also enticing potential travelers to add North Lake Tahoe to their vacation short list. Learn how the campaign came together and what sets it apart from other tourism initiatives.
