 COVER STORY:
The upcoming Republican National Convention made us pause and reflect on the journey our industry has taken over the past century and a half. We saw the construction of many convention centers, hotels, rail lines and one mega mall; we experienced the influx of CVBs and a big arts explosion; and our industry professionals only got smarter. With all these changes, how have we fared?
