Our primary exempt purpose is to enhance the economic life of the community (Fargo, Moorhead & West Fargo) by attracting all varieties of visitors. This includes, but is not limited to, leisure travelers, business travelers, group tours, meetings and conferences, and youth and adult sporting events. To that end, we market the community and its assets in a variety of different ways, including digital, social media, print and broadcast advertising; attendance at trade shows for meeting and sporting event planners; membership in organizations with which we can collaborate in pursuit of our primary goal. As part of our efforts to attract such events, we provide a variety of event assistance, both in the form of cash assistance and services to conferences and tournaments, as needed. Services include the printing of name badges and signage, as well as on-site staffing for registration.
