Experience Sports ETA With Us
Reflections from Pellucid Travel on a Week of Insight and Impact
This year’s Sports ETA Symposium in Tulsa brought together the best of the sports events and tourism industry—and Pellucid Travel was proud to be part of it. From exciting one-on-one conversations to inspiring panels and community impact, the week offered everything we hoped for and more.
The Power of Connection
For first-time attendee Alicia Gazda the event provided not only valuable exposure, but also a deeper sense of what makes this community so special.
“Having a dedicated booth and taking part in scheduled appointments with rights holders was incredibly beneficial.” – Alicia Gazda, Pellucid Travel
She emphasized how productive the one-on-one meetings were, with a focus on relationship-building and actionable next steps.
“It was great to be in a room of like-minded tourism professionals. I’m energized, I’m more informed, and I’m already looking forward to next year.”
Alicia also appreciated the chance to hear new perspectives from industry veterans, especially as someone coming from the conference planning side.
Insight, Education, and Industry Inspiration
Jason Puckett echoed similar sentiments after a week full of educational sessions, networking, and community building.
“Sports ETA delivered a great balance between education, networking, and business appointments.” – Jason Puckett, Pellucid Travel
Jason was particularly inspired by the tour of the USA BMX facility, calling it a standout experience.
“It really opened people’s eyes to what’s possible when a community invests in its sports infrastructure.”
As a member of the Legacy Fund Committee, Jason was also proud to be part of the most meaningful outcomes of the week.
“We raised $18,000 for the Center for Individuals with Physical Disabilities. Creating a lasting impact in Tulsa was awesome.”
Looking Ahead
The Pellucid Travel team returned home feeling energized and grateful for the experience, ready to put what they learned into practice and continue building strong industry partnerships.
“It gave me great tools I can use moving forward,” Alicia noted. “There’s so much value in connecting with people who share your goals.”
