Discover Iowa and ABI’s Taking Care of Business Conference

We’ve experienced a welcome stint of warm weather and even though spring is still in the air, a lot of Iowa families are finalizing their summer vacation plans. One of the great things about living in Iowa is the vast wealth of natural beauty, scenic attractions and great amenities that provide terrific recreation and vacation opportunities. While some may venture beyond our borders, many Iowa families will find that perfect vacation experience here and even more visitors will come from outside the state to discover what we have to offer.

Why am I noting this? It is because this edition of ABI’s Business Monthly is all about summer vacations in Iowa, communities to visit, and the economic impact that results from those visits. At ABI, we believe the business of vacations and tourism in our state is an economic and cultural win for us all.
When it comes to trips, there is none more important (ABI-wise) than the annual Taking Care of Business Conference. This column is my final print opportunity to personally invite you to join us for ABI’s 2024 Conference, our association’s 121st annual meeting, to be held June 4-6. I promise this meeting in the Quad Cities will be well worth your time. At the conference you will find not one, but several nationally known speakers. You will have the opportunity to attend informative sessions, dine at terrific restaurants, play golf at one of the nation’s finest PGA-certified private clubs, and experience terrific Quad City hospitality. Most importantly, you will experience the very best business networking in Iowa.

Don’t miss it! Go now to www.iowaabi.org and make your reservation. I look forward
