Maggie Thyken Huss Hits the Road to Promote Rancho Cordova, CA

Rancho Cordova, Calif. – Visit Rancho Cordova's Director of Sales, Maggie Thyken Huss, is turning into an SMF Airport regular. This summer she's been flying from coast to coast to attend tradeshows and conferences to network with meeting planners and association executives who are looking for interesting destinations to host upcoming events. In August alone, Huss has already traveled to ASAE Annual Meeting in Atlanta, GA and CONNECT Marketplace in Minneapolis, MN. In September, she'll head to San Diego for Northstar Destination California.

At these events, Huss takes and attends appointments with planning professionals to hear about their meeting needs and target audiences. Then, based on the need, she pitches Rancho Cordova's beautiful venues, unique attractions, and welcoming community spaces. Maintaining warm relationships with the leads that Huss gathers at these events may turn into group hotel bookings down the road, which brings business to Rancho Cordova and boosts our local economy. Visit Rancho Cordova offers powerful group booking incentives to help close the deal.
