Iconic St . Louis sites — plus essential events and people — await Travel Exchange delegates
Judy Garland crooned , “ Meet Me in St . Louis ,” in the title song of a 1944 film . The movie , about the 1904 World ’ s Fair , might seem like ancient history . And at the rate St . Louis is changing , we ’ ll see a new city when we meet there for Travel Exchange .
“ Even if you visited St . Louis just two years ago , we have a whole new destination waiting to be discovered ,” says Renee Eichelberger of Explore St . Louis . “ Our city has experienced a transformation the past couple of years , with new attractions , restaurants and entertainment options for all types of visitors .”
NTA delegates will gain business at the convention , but they ’ ll also gain a new appreciation for a city that Eichelberger is eager to show off . “ What I ’ m most looking forward to about hosting the NTA convention is welcoming my NTA family to the city I love and care so much about .”
Some of the newest attractions are the sites of Travel Exchange events : the National Blues Museum in the heart of downtown , Ballpark Village and the Anheuser-Busch Brewery Tour Center .
But that ’ s where you ’ ll be at night . Your St . Louis days will be filled with rewarding appointments , informative seminars , entertaining meal events and engaging conversations with colleagues . That ’ s all described on the following pages .
In the song , Garland promised we ’ ll “ dance the hoochee koochee ,” and she ’ ll “ be your tootsie wootsie .”
For now , let ’ s just leave it at “ Meet Me in St . Louis .”
