MILWAUKEE – (Sept. 2, 2021) VISIT Milwaukee was a sponsor of Connect 2021 in Tampa this week, and one of the destination marketing organization’s leaders was honored for her work. Director of Event Experience Brittany Korth was recognized as a 2021 Connect Association 40 Under 40 honoree.

“Brittany has been a valued member of the VISIT Milwaukee team for many years, and we regularly hear from event organizers, attendees, and our community at large what a credit Brittany is to the hospitality industry,” said Peggy Williams-Smith, president and CEO of VISIT Milwaukee. “This honor comes as no surprise to anyone who knows Brittany and her outstanding work to make planners’ Milwaukee conventions their best conventions.”
