2014 TIA Great Ideas Conference and Exposition
 
 

Cradled in the Tucson Mountains, lies a setting that ignites the imagination and luxurious accommodations that rejuvenate the soul. Welcome to the JW Marriott Starr Pass Resort & Spa, situated just west of the area archeologists refer to as the birthplace of Tucson. This majestic landscape dotted with towering Saguaros provides the ideal backdrop for the largest and most extensive meeting space in Southern Arizona.

Only minutes from the area’s most popular visitor sites and Tucson International Airport, Starr Pass is as convenient as it is breathtaking. Experience Southern Arizona’s clear blue skies, lush desert and over 300 days of sunshine each year. Outdoor enthusiasts can recharge after a meeting by hiking, mountain biking or horseback riding along a desert trail. Golfers will be challenged by the 27 holes of Arnold Palmer Signature Golf at Starr Pass Golf Club. And for the relaxation seeker, find bliss in a host of nature inspired treatments at the luxurious, 20,000 square foot Hashani Spa. In addition to its natural beauty, Tucson’s diverse culture and one-of-a-kind attractions make the “Old Pueblo” a perfect setting.
