Meeting Planner Event in Dallas, Jan. 18 
 
The Group Sales team recently hosted a meeting planner event in Texas where we brought a taste of Walton County to downtown Dallas. Two of our local chefs created amazing culinary experiences for the attendees, three pieces of art created by local artists were showcased to highlight our thriving art scene, and several meetings' partners participated in the event by either attending and having an opportunity to present their venues or by donating overnight stays for giveaways. Eighteen Dallas-based meeting planners enjoyed interacting with our partners and ambassadors while they learned about Walton County.
