I truly feel that we were able to capture the convention to come to Jacksonville because of the support Visit Jacksonville gave us right in the beginning as we were preparing and then to also continue the service until the end. Over 9000 youths are better citizens today and tomorrow because of all the lessons they learned in Jacksonville. Everyone loved the city, the people and the venues. Thank you.

The Staff at the Ontario Convention Center epitomizes the term 'Customer Service'; they attended to every minute detail with a smile. Everyone is attentive to our particular needs, from the flyers provided to include in our registrations packets and the distinctive food options for the attendees... our hotel room consumption has increased 63.6% since 2006 all due to the diligent recommendations made by the Ontario Convention and Visitors Bureau ...

Madison is a great place to visit and even better place to live. With its vibrant cultural scene and world-class University of Wisconsin for academic and sporting options, Madison is a place that has a buzz of activity. The GMCVB has been instrumental in assisting businesses and the University as well as state government in bringing world-class events to our community. One example of their assistance was in coordinating the Association of University Research Parks 14th International Conference at Monona Terrace Convention Center. The event was a success and the attendees were pleased with the venue and destination. This truly is a unique place to have your business meeting or convention

The Harley Owners Group brought their 2010 Touring Rally, Motoring the Mother Road to Oklahoma City on September 17 and 18. Riders representing 8 foreign countries and 40 of the United States rolled into the city to explore Route 66 and all of the sites and sounds of Oklahoma City and the surrounding area. We had a wonderful experience working with the Oklahoma City Convention and Visitors Bureau, several local hotels, Brewer Entertainment and the Coca-Cola Events Center and Harley-Davidson World. We hope to have the opportunity to work with Oklahoma City again in the future.

“Even though I have lived in Omaha most of my life I never fully recognized all that our city has to offer. After working with the Omaha CVB I realized our city can easily compete with other "mid-sized" cities for group business. Our airport has good airlift, is easily navigated and located near the heart of downtown. Hotels are plentiful, well appointed and are priced competitively. The cultural scene continues to grow and we have many unique, locally-owned shops and restaurants. Lastly, the CVB staff is friendly and knowledgeable and you feel they truly care about the client as well as THEIR city.”

"I want to commend the city of Topeka for the hospitality shown to our group during our reunion. Topeka has a unique qualitu, it's not too big and not too small, and the prices are very resonable with very good dining selections. I think we will be hard pressed to find a place with the same quality in antoer city for our next reunion."
