Calling All Hospitality Businesses in NWI

The South Shore Convention and Visitors Authority (SSCVA) is inviting the hospitality industry to their Annual Partnership Summit at the Indiana Welcome Center (7770 Corrine Dr, Hammond) on November 15. Whether you are an attraction, accommodation, restaurant, small shop, city/town, or brewery/winery, our partners receive exposure to the South Shore's nearly 6.5 million visitors, as well as residents of Northwest Indiana.

Established in 1983, the SSCVA is a sales and marketing organization that leads the hospitality industry and aids its partners through the development and support of attractions throughout Northwest Indiana. The SSCVA attracts meetings, sporting events, reunions, group tours and leisure travelers looking for a getaway from around the nation.

“The future is bright for positive economic growth opportunities in Northwest Indiana,” said David Uran, President/CEO at the SSCVA. “We welcome and encourage all commercial businesses to attend our annual partnership summit.  The SSCVA will show how working together can increase tourism and attract more customers to your front door. All businesses can benefit because not only do visitors enjoy all the attractions and amenities the region has to offer, but so do our local residents.”

Summit topics include an overview of 2023 successes and what to expect in 2024, new sports and leisure initiatives, marketing and advertising opportunities, and more.

“We at Miller Pizza Company are very excited to attend this event,” stated Elsie Goldberg, Owner. “We learned so much last year to grow our business and can't wait to see what new and exciting things the South Shore CVA Partnership Summit has to offer this year!”

“Attending the partner summit last year reminded me how many different options the SSCVA offers to their partners that help to promote their business, market their events, and give exposure to their informational campaigns,” said Chris Mahlmann, Founder of GreatNews.Life. “Backed by the best in the region talent, they can supercharge your efforts reaching all across Northwest Indiana.”

There are two sessions to choose from: 9:00 to 11:30 a.m. and 2:00 to 4:30 p.m. Both sessions will be the same and include surprise giveaways. To register visit uk.eventsforce.net/southshore/7/home or email Barb Mack at barb@southshorecva.com.
