What’s New at ESTO

New Energy. Bold Ideas. Your ESTO, Your Way.

We’re building on what you love most about ESTO — and introducing new features designed to elevate your experience, inspire ideas that travel and create lasting connections that extend well beyond Phoenix.   

No two destinations are alike — and each attendee's ESTO experience isn’t, either. This year’s program is built for flexibility, giving you the freedom to create your unique personalized mix of learning, inspiration and networking that fits your goals and fuels your career. 

Flexible Formats, Curated for You

Mix and match from a variety of immersive formats — TED-style talks, hands-on workshops, immersive learning spaces like the new AI Playground and focused learning tracks to help shape your schedule around what matters most to you.

Networking, Reimagined

Forget the same old small talk and icebreakers. This year, you’ll connect through curated meetups, experience-driven activities and smarter digital tools designed to spark real, meaningful conversations among destination professionals.

A Fresh Take on Awards

We’re elevating the celebration with a reimagined awards program — new categories that reflect the future of marketing, a modern show format and more visibility for the standout work shaping our industry.
