Don’t miss this opportunity to meet one-on-one with fifty destination marketing organizations (DMOs) from the Mid-Atlantic region in a one-stop-shop for compelling story ideas and the latest news about the Mid-Atlantic’s hottest destinations.  

Ideas generated on the marketplace floor will have ample opportunity to grow when you team up with fellow travel writers, members of the news media, and DMOs for a host of activities designed to help you discover Annapolis, Maryland.   

Maryland’s capital city invites MATPRA Media Marketplace attendees to Party like it’s 1708 during its yearlong Annapolis Alive! celebration commemorating the signing of a Royal Charter that gave Annapolis its city status 300 years ago.  

From a sunset sailing cruise aboard the Woodwind Schooner of Wedding Crashers fame; to a front row seat for the Wednesday Night Sailing Races; to a stroll of “The Yard” at U.S. Naval Academy; to tours of the Historic District, the Great Georgian Mansions of Annapolis, and the homes of Maryland’s Declaration of Independence signers; to a Maryland Crab Feast Annapolis-style, and more, your visit to America’s Sailing Capital will be an eye-opening introduction to all that Maryland has to offer. If you have the time, be sure to explore the pre- and post-familiarization tours that will help to further tell the Maryland story.
