Whether you’re bringing together 20 colleagues or 1,500 attendees, our travel industry specialists provide personalized, hands-on assistance from your first inquiry through the final farewell.

How We Can Help

Our team offers a comprehensive range of planning services designed to take the guesswork out of your event. From the moment you start planning, we’re your dedicated resource for everything Pigeon Forge.

Pre-planning assistance is where we shine. We’ll work alongside you to understand your goals, group size, and vision, then put our local expertise to work connecting you with the right venues, vendors, and experiences. As your event takes shape, we can assist with pre-function mailings to attendees, promotional materials including slides, videos, maps, and posters, and media coverage coordination to help build awareness and excitement around your event.

We also know that a successful meeting means keeping attendees and their families happy beyond the conference room. Our team can recommend and coordinate spouse programs and activities, sightseeing tours, and leisure itineraries that showcase the best of Pigeon Forge and the surrounding Smoky Mountains. When your attendees leave the session room and explore everything our destination has to offer, they’ll be glad they came and eager to return.

Site Visits

Choosing the right venue is one of the most important decisions in the planning process, and we make it easy. We welcome meeting planners to Pigeon Forge for customized site visits designed to give you a complete, firsthand look at what our destination has to offer. We’ll build a personalized itinerary that showcases our accommodations, meeting facilities, attractions, and dining, so you can make an informed decision with confidence. Contact our sales team to schedule your site visit.

Attendance Building

One of the biggest challenges for any conference organizer is driving attendance. Our sales and service team understands this, and we’re ready to help you make the case for Pigeon Forge. Here’s how:

Pick a family-friendly destination. Research consistently shows that attendees are more likely to commit to a conference when the destination welcomes their families. Pigeon Forge delivers on that promise with more than 80 attractions, family-friendly shows, and casual and upscale dining options right outside your hotel door.

Choose a theme that resonates. If you’re looking for fresh ideas to package your annual convention or conference, lean on our team. We’ll help you align your goals and objectives with the natural energy and charm of a Smoky Mountain setting to make your event truly memorable.

Leverage our pre-marketing support. Let us help you spread the word. We can assist with pre-event mailings, promotional materials, and digital tools that communicate the value and fun of your Pigeon Forge event to potential attendees. We can also provide resources to simplify booking for extended stays and dining reservations, removing barriers that might otherwise hold attendees back. The first step is as simple as submitting an RFP.
