PLANNER PERSPECTIVE

“The Visit Glendale team has been instrumental in assisting the Arizona Sports & Entertainment Commission in pursuing our mission to bring sporting events to the state, assist in promoting existing events, and support youth and amateur sports programs. Most notably, the guidance and support we received on the hotel block selection and implementation plan for the Section 7 Basketball Team Camp were second-tonone; we could not have done our job without them.”

— Nikki Balich, Executive Director, The Arizona Sports & Entertainment Commission
