Registration Now Open for Montana Department of Commerce Governor’s Conference on Tourism – 9/16-18 – Great Falls

Mark your calendars for the 2026 Montana Department of Commerce Governor’s Conference on Tourism, Sept. 16-18. This event will be hosted in Great Falls, “The Electric City,” where we’ll hear from industry leaders and get the inside scoop on the current state of tourism in Big Sky Country.

This year, we’ve traded the traditional conference format for the open road. In place of standard breakout sessions, we’re proud to offer rural immersive experiences. These sessions provide hands-on learning designed to show you exactly what our landscapes need to thrive. You’ll step directly into the heart of Montana’s rural communities to see the challenges and triumphs of hospitality firsthand.

Conference Highlights:

• Industry insights: Hear directly from leaders about the data and trends shaping Montana’s travel industry.
• Rural immersive experiences: Engage in high-impact, hands-on learning that offers the tools needed to promote and develop our unique markets and services.
• Strategic networking: Connect with peers and innovators to challenge your perspective and expand your professional circle.
