Southern Oregon Travel Jam
Let’s Jam in 2026!
We’re bringing back the Travel Southern Oregon Symposium (sort of)—and it’s going to be better than ever! Mark your calendars for February 23, 2026 as we relaunch our beloved regional tourism conference under a bold new name: The Southern Oregon Travel Jam.
In traditional ‘symposium’ fashion, we’ll kick things off with a Sunday Night Social at Dunbar Farms, then meet Monday morning at the Rogue Valley Country Club in Medford for an inspiring day-long conference jam-packed with fresh ideas, powerful connections, and engaging breakouts for everyone working to elevate tourism in Southern Oregon.
This year, we’re thrilled to welcome Jake Haupert, co-founder of the Transformational Travel Council, as our keynote speaker. Jake is a national thought leader in purpose-driven, regenerative, and meaningful travel experiences. He’ll bring inspiring insights into how our region can lead with authenticity, stewardship, and storytelling that transforms both travelers and communities.
Whether you’re a business owner, creative professional, land manager, tribal or nonprofit partner, the Travel Jam is your space to connect, learn, and transform the travel experience of Southern Oregon.
