Learning the status of tourism from the New Jersey Tourism Industry Association’s annual Conference on Tourism will be a virtual experience Dec. 2 and 3, and those who tune in will see the Southern Ocean County Chamber of Commerce’s own Lori Pepenella as a panel speaker.

The state’s annual tourism conference will be held online this year due to COVID-19 restrictions, instead of the usually-sited event in Atlantic City. Registration can be found at njtia.org/events/nj-conference-on-tourism/.
