Connect Spring Marketplace

Diversity Track

Diverse events aren’t built for one audience—and they shouldn’t be planned by one perspective.

Today’s event landscape spans faith-based organizations, fraternal groups, nonprofits, education, social impact, and community-driven audiences. At Connect Spring Marketplace, that diversity isn’t theoretical—it’s who’s in the room. This track brings together senior-level planners and partners working across religious, fraternal, nonprofit, and education events with suppliers who can support their needs.

ROI on Both Sides of the Table

For buyers, it’s access to destinations that understand the power of representation and are equipped to host events that inspire belonging and impact. For suppliers, it’s the chance to showcase how your city or venue celebrates diversity and amplifies voices that matter.
