Nearly half of destination organizations (42%) reported in the 2025 DNEXT Futures study that their funding is at risk within the next three years. At the same time, communities and funders are demanding more than traditional economic impact metrics they expect proof of a destination’s contribution to well-being and resilience. This Virtual Roundtable, hosted by the Social Impact Committee, will explore how destinations can reframe financial vulnerability not as a deficit, but as an opportunity to highlight their role as champions of community value. By shifting from a defensive stance to proactive storytelling, organizations can build stronger cases for funding, grounded in measurable social ROI. Please come prepared with cameras on, ready to participate in dialogue.

Experience AI in action by seeing how it can be applied to rapidly build comprehensive training programs, centralize critical HR and operations data, and improve overall organizational performance.

Seats are limited to ensure space for real-time conversation, troubleshooting, and active participation. Attendees will be expected to be on camera and engaged throughout. To protect the safe space for open sharing, the session will be recorded for internal note-taking only and will not be distributed afterward.
