Panama City Beach features a range of resorts and group-friendly venues with 27 miles of sugar-white sand and an easy-to-plan meetings environment, according to Jayna Leach, senior vice president and chief marketing officer of Visit Panama City Beach. “Planners and attendees return year after year because it’s easy to turn a conference into a vacation,” Leach says. “Our accessibility, approachable pricing, and walkable entertainment areas appeal to planners, while groups enjoy waterfront dining, outdoor adventures, and family-friendly attractions, such as the new Topgolf and Dolly Parton’s new Pirates Voyage Dinner & Show.”
