Texas is no stranger to meetings. Houston, Dallas and San Antonio are probably best known to planners for good reasons — stellar facilities, options galore and excellent airlift among them — but they aren’t the only cities to consider.

Texas has been a favorite meeting, event and convention destination for associations of all sizes. And rightfully so.

Texas has long been associated with hospitality — welcoming visitors and eagerly sharing all the state has to offer in its sights, sounds and sumptuous cuisine.

One of the country’s meetings destination gems is Texas, where everything can be found on a larger scale.

Across the Lone Star State, CVB and hotel partners are helping planners facilitate a return to in-person events…

Everything, as the old cliché goes, is bigger in Texas…

Texas is a big state with big options for planners. North, east, south or west, there’s a city that will welcome your group with Texas-sized warmth and hospitality.

Bigger-and-better, made-in-Texas experiences meet the high expectations planners and attendees have for meeting destinations nowadays.

From Austin to Irving, a wholesome hospitality envelopes attendees like surround-sound.

Texas is busily upgrading and expanding existing properties while building new ones — good news for associations.
