Planner Spotlight : SEC
Southeast Conference ( SEC ), a regional economic organization , held their annual meeting in Sitka . Visit Sitka hosted the SEC pre-convention site visits , which allowed for event planning to take place through tours of hotels and venues as well as meetings with caterers . During the convention , attendees immersed themselves in the Sitka community with after-hour tours on wildlife boat excursions and Sitka ’ s two animal rehabilitation centers , where attendees saw everything from bears to whales to eagles .
Their itinerary was planned around SEC ’ s focus on community and economic development , so Visit Sitka arranged tours of the industrial park and the hydroelectric dam to introduce attendees to the building blocks of Sitka ’ s economy . With Visit Sitka ’ s Show Your Badge program , attendees received special discounts in local shops , and guests spent their free time exploring Sitka ’ s downtown while shopping for unique pieces of memorabilia .
