The Savannah Sports Council is making a strong impact this week at the Sports ETA Symposium in Las Vegas, connecting with more than 40 sports planners to position Savannah and Chatham County as a premier destination for future sporting events.

Representing Visit Savannah and the Savannah Sports Council, Karissa Pendleton is actively engaging with event organizers and decision-makers from across the country, building relationships that will help drive new sports tourism opportunities to the region.

As the proud Hydration Station sponsor, the Council elevated its presence throughout the event with a branded booth, custom water bottles, and high-visibility activation—ensuring Savannah stood out among destinations competing for major sporting events.

This strategic outreach highlights Savannah’s growing reputation in the sports tourism market and reinforces the community’s commitment to attracting events that generate economic impact and showcase the region on a national stage.
