Meet and pitch your travel stories to key Northern California media. This event takes place every 18 months. The next SF Media Reception is scheduled for September 29, 2009.
CTTC hosted the San Francisco Media Reception April 22, 2008, at the Ritz-Carlton, San Francisco. This event connected 66 California destinations and tourism businesses with key travel media to generate additional interest in writing favorable stories about California as a premier travel destination. This event also gave California delegates the opportunity to showcase story ideas and what's new in their respective areas.
CTTC hosted nearly 100 actively-producing consumer, lifestyle and travel media based in the San Francisco-Bay Area and surrounding Northern California region. Additionally, CTTC hosted three top-tier, out-of-state travel writers at the event and worked with our partners to arrange specialized fam tours.
A fantastic opportunity to garner top-tier coverage for your California destination, accommodation or attraction and network one-on-one with San Francisco and Northern-California-based travel and lifestyle media.
