We're shining the spotlight on our Member of the Week—Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, one of the anchors of Arizona’s economy and the key that unlocks the world for millions of travelers. The Phoenix Airport System which consists of Phoenix Sky Harbor and two general aviation airports – Phoenix Deer Valley and Phoenix Goodyear, has a total economic impact of $44.3 billion and is the largest economic engine in the state. Sky Harbor isn’t just a place to catch a flight—it’s a thriving hub, employing over 47,000 people who pour $4.8 billion back into local businesses. That’s not just aviation power—it’s community impact on a grand scale. And now, with the exciting launch of Air France's new route connecting Phoenix to Paris, Sky Harbor opens yet another door to global exploration, adding to its legacy as the gateway to the Southwest and beyond!

?? It's October 1, and you know what that means… spooky season has officially howled its way into Phoenix! While the rest of the country may be chasing ghosts, we’ve got our very own hauntingly adorable mascot: Slug the Pug - and he's here to take us from Summer glow to Fall flow. Slug isn’t your typical specter—no rattling chains or spooky wails here. He’s all about chasing the tumbleweeds, striking fear in the hearts of unattended snacks, and giving out slobbery trick or treats to anyone who dares to visit Phoenix this month. October in the Sonoran Desert is brewing up thrills, chills......and probably a few face licks. Ours to share and a place for all to keep. ??Desert Botanical Garden

What happens when more 400 movers, shakers, and dream-makers gather in the heart of the Sonoran Desert? You get a meeting that goes beyond agendas and slides—you get an event that ignites our people and our place. It's safe to say that our 2024 Visit Annual Meeting, A Desert of Dreams, was an instant classic! From the moment we kicked off, it was clear: In Phoenix we don't wait for greatness. We're a city of stories written by its people. ??A massive shout out to Warehouse215, Form Floral and Vermillion Events by David Twigger, M Culinary Concepts, Event Rents and White Tie Productions for making our Desert of Dreams come to life! ??And of course, a huge, loud, profound thank you to all of our best-in-class sponsors!
