Columbus Sales Blitz

June 3 & 4, 2025

Sales representatives from hotels and meeting facilities will join Visit Canton team members Mary Vlahos, Vice President of Sales & Service, and Leslianne Lake, Sales Manager, for the upcoming Columbus Sales Blitz. The purpose of this trip is to connect with meeting and event planners throughout the Columbus area, provide updates on Stark County facilities, and confirm current contact information. Our goals include identifying potential events coming up for bid and educating planners on the wide range of venues and amenities available in our region.

Detailed insights gathered during the sales blitz will be shared directly with the participating partners who invested time and resources into the trip. However, we will be updating our internal database and encourage other interested facilities to reach out. We’re happy to coordinate future sales calls or provide contact lists of regional planners to support your sales efforts.

If you have any questions or would like to explore future opportunities, please contact Mary Vlahos at maryv@visitcanton.com.
