For the fifth year in a row, the annual Tour Link Conference came together at the Phoenix Marriott Mesa in Mesa, AZ, February 4-7, 2010 for an extended weekend of networking, catching up with old friends, making new friends, and drinking at Diamond's. The official title sponsor for the event was Prevost; title co-sponsors included AAA Communications, Brown United, and Shockwave Cargo.

Midway Car Rental kicked off the weekend on Thursday with an exciting afternoon at Golfland where attendees battled in laser tag, mini golf, go-kart racing, and arcade games. The afternoon served as an ice breaker for first timers looking to meet the veterans of the event before everyone came together in the evening for the Opening Night Reception at the hotel.

Friday and Saturday mornings and afternoons were filled with sessions at the hotel, offering a broad variety of topics. Friday evening attendees enjoyed the new Jet BBQ at the Scottsdale Air Center. Saturday evening was the much-anticipated Industry Dinner & Top Dog Awards Show in the grand ballrooms of the hotel. Of course, every evening all came together at Diamond's for late-night hospitality suites hosted by Access Pass & Design and The Hyatt hotels.

The general sessions proved once again just how much this conference has to offer touring professionals and other entities supporting the industry. With subject matter ranging from ways to diversify your business, to insight on how to integrate new technology on the road, the sessions had something for everyone in attendance.
