A new destination has joined the Hosts Global Alliance. Welcome to Costa Rica.

Adventure. Wellness. Luxury. Sustainability. Authentic culture.

We’re thrilled to announce that Connect DMC, A Hosts Global Member, has officially expanded into Costa Rica, with permanent offices in Guanacaste and San José. From the lush rainforests of Arenal to the breathtaking Pacific coastline and vibrant capital city, our local team is ready to create unforgettable meetings, incentives, and events.

Whether you’re planning your next incentive trip, executive retreat, or corporate meeting, Costa Rica offers the perfect balance of inspiration, connection, and adventure.

Appointments are available now, and we’ll begin accepting Costa Rica RFPs on October 1. If you’re attending IMEX America, stop by Booth E1117 to meet the team and discover what’s possible.

The adventure starts here.

It’s 9-2-5, y’all. And in Nashville, you know exactly what that means. 🎶

Today, we’re celebrating Dolly Parton Day the best way we know how: with a little sparkle, a whole lot of heart, and a reminder that legendary experiences can leave an impact long after the music stops.

Our Hosts Nashville team has had the pleasure of bringing a little Dolly magic to events right here in Music City, including this unforgettable Dolly impersonator who knows exactly how to work a room.

But today is about more than having fun from 9 to 5.

In honor of Dolly Parton Day, Hosts Nashville is making a donation to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library to give back to children in our local Nashville community and support Dolly’s mission to inspire a love of reading through free books.

Because if there’s anything Dolly has taught us, it’s that a little kindness can go a long way. 💙

Happy 9-2-5 from Hosts Nashville!

Back at our desks, but mentally? Still somewhere between a glacier, a mountaintop and one unforgettable week in Alaska. ✈️

The views were unreal. The adventures were next level. The conversations were meaningful. And the energy? Still very much alive.

Hosts Global Forum was one of those experiences you don’t just attend. You feel it.

And if this Reel gives you a little FOMO… good. 😉

Because some weeks stay with you long after the bags are unpacked.

This feeling. That’s Forum.

Alaska set the stage. Our community brought the energy.

Day 1 of Hosts Global Forum was a reminder of what happens when incredible people, unforgettable destinations and shared purpose come together in one place.

From first arrivals to first adventures, meaningful introductions to moments high above Girdwood, Forum is officially in motion.

And this is only the beginning.

Members introduced.

Every remarkable chapter is built on the one that came before it.

Today, Hosts Global is proud to announce a planned leadership transition that honors where we’ve been and looks boldly toward where we’re going.

Effective September 1, 2026, Marti Winer will become Chief Executive Officer of Hosts Global, succeeding Kurt Paben, who will transition to Vice Chair and work alongside Marti through the remainder of 2026.

Under Kurt’s leadership, Hosts has continued to grow, evolve and strengthen its position across the global meetings and events industry, building an extraordinary foundation centered on our people, clients and Alliance partners.

Now, Marti brings more than two decades of leadership across destination management, hospitality, experiential marketing and live events, along with the strategic vision, operational discipline and creativity to lead Hosts into its next chapter.

The leadership is evolving.
The relationships remain.
The ambition grows.

And the next chapter of Hosts Global starts now.

Join us in congratulating Marti and celebrating Kurt as we look toward what comes next.
