Visit Phoenix has retained SearchWide Global to find an energetic, innovative and experienced professional to serve as the new Executive Director, Phoenix Sports and Events commission.
Visit Phoenix is a non-profit organization that promotes the Greater Phoenix community to a global audience of travelers and books conventions into the Phoenix Convention Center and area hotels and resorts. Visit Phoenix cultivates and maintains relationships with convention and meeting planners, journalists and influencers, travel agents and tour operators.
We produce marketing and brand campaigns promoting leisure travel and meetings, coordinate site visits, conduct media tours and maintain the official tourism website for Greater Phoenix. In partnership with our nearly 900 member businesses, Visit Phoenix brings business to Greater Phoenix that would not otherwise come—from leisure visitors to group meetings to popular sports events. Through this, Greater Phoenix can compete in today’s globalized, networked world for its share of the world’s consumers, businesses, investment, capital, respect, and attention.
The Executive Director of the Phoenix Sports & Events Commission will spearhead the Commission’s development, with a mandate to establish its long-term goals, strategies, and operational structure. Reporting to the CEO of Visit Phoenix, the Executive Director will lead efforts to attract major events, manage key stakeholder relationships, and ensure the Commission’s impact aligns with the goals of Visit Phoenix.
