Calling on the Virginia Beach community! Do you know someone who plans meetings, conference or events? With the Wave Maker Recommendation Program, you can help bring exciting events to Virginia Beach simply by connecting event planners with our Convention Sales team.
When you make a recommendation, you’re helping support local businesses and keep our community vibrant.
Tourism and events play a major role in our community. Each year, Virginia Beach welcomes 14.3 million visitors who spend $2.6 billion locally, generating $3.9 billion in total economic impact and supporting more than 34,000 jobs.
Every event supports local restaurants and shops, hotels and hospitality businesses, and attractions and entertainment — while also creating jobs in the local economy.
