Planners. Destinations. Experts.

“ Texas librarians and exhibitors love Houston because of the vast array of hotels, restaurants and fun activities within walking distance of the convention center. Texas Library Association staff members have great respect for Houston’s hospitality industry. I’ve been holding meetings in Houston for 20 years, and every one has been distinguished by professional service. It’s a pleasure doing business in Houston! — Pat Smith

“ We picked Pasadena to be the home of the largest amateur astronomy show on the west coast because it was at the foot of Mt. Wilson - in other words, at the center of the astronomical universe. The fact that the hotels, restaurants, shopping, and facilities were also there made our event first class. — Alex McConahay
Program Director
Pacific Astronomy and Telescope Show

“ Toledo is centrally located for our group....good facilities in the area. Hotel was excellent...enjoyed the local restaurants. Our next conference is already scheduled in Toledo. — Raymond Darr

“ "San Antonio is a great destination for a meeting. The city is easily accessible from the airport. Our program was successful with the variety of hotels and restaurants within walking distance to the Convention Center." — Diane Rosenbaum, CMP

“ My clients LOVE Sarasota and the Hyatt. In addition to the fact that the Hyatt is a great conference hotel with exemplary service, their newly opened restaurant and bar, just off the lobby, is a wonderful meeting place for guests between meetings and events. The fact that they are going to be renovating the Boathouse and opening it as a hospitality suite makes it even better! My groups enjoy their hospitality suites and the Boathouse, with its amazing water view will make a perfect hospitality suite for day and evening. Sarasota offers so much in the way of attractions and things to do and see after meetings. We always enjoy Le Barge's sunset cruises. With Ringling and all that is — Brenda Glass

“ "What most impressed our attendees was Portland's free public transportation in downtown, the very low cost and convenient airport transportation (MAX rail), and tax-free shopping (I heard some went overboard and had to get extra bags and boxes to ship back their purchases). Many CVBs provide visitor info, but you do so so promptly, in depth and professionally. Travel Portland truly made my job as a meeting planner so much easier and fun." — Mayumi M. Mazur

“ Kalamazoo felt like home. It provides a central location in the Midwest and pulls attendees from both Chicago and Detroit. The people of Kalamazoo have embraced the event and the area provides excellent accommodations and restaurants. — Jerry Kennedy

“ "The 2010 FIP PSWC/AAPS Annual Meeting & Exposition was a success in the eyes of AAPS, FIP and the 44 other organizations who co-sponsored the meeting. Although our attendees came for the science, they also came because they love New Orleans. They enjoyed the ambiance of the city, the food and the wonderful French Quarter. Our attendees had a wonderful time. This is the first time we left a meeting with no complaints. We believe that is due to the great hospitality they received in New Orleans." — Sharon Pinchon

“ As is the case for all large medical congresses, the preparatory route is a long one and requires the cooperation of all kinds of local and national organizations. Having been planning this congress for the past 6 years, I pay high tribute to the Vancouver Convention Bureau which helped us enormously in drawing up the bid and pulling in the congress. There's a lot of hard work involved in bringing more than 4,000 delegates to a city. Especially lots of collaborative work! — Professor Dr. Paul Keown

“ “Chicago is an ideal location for the RSNA Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting. The excellent international access via world class airports, the variety of hotels, the world-renowned cuisine, the skilled labor, and outstanding facilities at McCormick Place all add up to a first-class, global city that our attendees love to return to year after year. The Chicago Convention & Tourism Bureau and McCormick Place are true partners of RSNA, and work with us every step of the way to create the best possible experience for our attendees.” — Steve Drew
