Visiting Media March Event Recap
It was an action-packed month for our team as we navigated through a series of engaging events and insightful conferences. Let’s take a moment to reflect on and celebrate some of the standout moments and achievements that unfolded throughout the month of March.
Remington Leadership Conference
Visiting Media had the pleasure of returning to the Remington Conference this year. Remington, a long-standing and loyal customer, has played a pivotal role in our journey, and we are truly excited to continue nurturing and growing our partnership with them. Our main aim for this year’s conference is to introduce a variety of fresh and innovative perspectives. These perspectives will not only complement but also provide room for their existing technological infrastructure to thrive.

At the world’s leading travel show, our team joined over 5,500 exhibitors and 100,000 visitors to explore the latest trends in travel and hospitality.

Together,” which aligned perfectly with Visiting Media’s mission to revolutionize the way hoteliers sell their properties through immersive technology.
Some notable takeaways from the event include:

The Hunter Investment Conference
It was the first year our team attended the Hunter Investment Conference, and it was enlightening. Forecasts are on the rise for 2024, fueled by promising tailwinds from the Hunter Hotel Investment Conference. Technology is set to play a crucial role in helping hotels boost profitability, attract top talent, and stand out in consumers’ minds! Travelers have high expectations, and the industry leaders are stepping up. Differentiation, efficiency, and revenue growth are key takeaways from the Hunter Hotel Investment Conference, where immersive selling strategies are tailored to elevate every aspect of the business. A game-changer for the evolving hotel landscape!

Pyramid Global Leadership Conference
At the Pyramid Global Leadership Conference, we shared the stage with industry frontrunners from Revinate and Flip.to. Together, we delved into a panel discussion on marketing strategies in the ever-changing hospitality landscape. With Pyramid Global’s reach expanding, marketing plays a crucial role in tapping new markets and boosting revenue. We emphasized the significance of data-driven marketing to target and engage potential customers effectively. This discourse highlighted how technology can elevate marketing endeavors and create a personalized guest experience.
We really think about the changing buyer behavior in space. When we go back 5+ years ago, something like 90% of the people -particularly in the group business- were actually coming on site doing site visits. Well, you fast forward to today, that number is down to about 25% of buyers are doing on site visits. So for us, we really lean into help our clients adjust to that changing buyer behavior. We found that the sooner you can use immersive content in your selling process, the greater the chances to help the buyer make a decision in your favor and to make it quicker!
Shaun Rodgers, SVP of Revenue
As we continue throughout this year, we are looking forward to continually bringing education and value to each event we attend!
