The Miles of Possibility Route 66 Conference is
back this year with its sixth annual event, to be held virtually
Thursday – Sunday, October 21 – 24, 2021.
|
This year's theme is “A Worldwide
Celebration of Route 66,” emphasizing the love of Route 66 and its
collegiality that is truly an international phenomenon. To that end,
this year's slate of speakers and presenters comes to you from
across all eight Route 66 states and from locations around the
world. Embracing the virtual format, the organizers have created a
truly “worldwide” event!
The by-now familiar conference format plus social activities will be
followed again this year with a few new twists. The event kicks off
with a Thursday evening virtual Happy Hour to meet and greet old and
new friends and colleagues from around the globe. Friday and
Saturday feature daytime conference sessions, with no need this year
to choose from multiple breakout sessions. ROUTE Magazine editor
Brennen Matthews will present the keynote speech on Friday morning,
October 22, followed by an exciting slate of speakers that Route 66
enthusiasts won't want to miss!
Added in 2019 and back by popular demand, the Roadie Roundtable is
spotlighted on Friday evening. A “Rock 'n Roll Evening” on Saturday
night includes entertainment from multiple musicians and bands, and
a Route 66 song contest will make sure that you “get your kicks.”

David Clark and Sherry Meyer of InSites to Go say, “Yup and yay! You
don't have to go home yet! Join us for a virtual Route 66 Revival
Tour, roaming via ZOOM southwest on the highway that's the best!”
