Tourism Nanaimo What We Heard Mixer

Join Tourism Nanaimo for an evening of networking, collaboration, and conversation as we share the results of a year of industry engagement and unveil the priorities that will guide our work in 2027.

Throughout 2026, Tourism Nanaimo connected with industry partners through sector meetings, one-on-one conversations, accommodation discussions, the Industry Pulse Survey, and the Alignment Summit. Together, these conversations identified the opportunities, challenges, and priorities that matter most to Nanaimo's tourism community.

The What We Heard Mixer is your opportunity to see how that feedback has shaped Year 3 of Tourism Nanaimo's Destination Development Strategy and our 2027 Annual Plan. Through interactive displays and conversations with the Tourism Nanaimo team, you will explore the key themes we heard, the priorities that emerged, and the initiatives that will guide our work over the coming year.

What to expect:

• Networking with tourism industry partners
• Interactive displays highlighting what we heard and how it informed our priorities
• A first look at Tourism Nanaimo's 2027 priorities and Year 3 initiatives
• Opportunities to connect with the Tourism Nanaimo team and fellow industry partners

Whether you participated in a sector meeting, completed the Industry Pulse Survey, attended the Alignment Summit, or are simply interested in the future of tourism in Nanaimo, we invite you to join us as we look ahead to 2027 together.
