With its easy accessibility and business-friendly climate, the state of Texas truly has all the ingredients you’re looking for as an event planner.

Whether it’s hip & happening Austin, dazzling Dallas, multicultural El Paso, the western frontier town of Fort Worth or historic San Antonio, each Texas city has its own appeal.

The Lone Star State is shining bright and its main hubs — Fort Worth, El Paso, San Austin, Houston, San Antonio and Dallas — have made themselves more appealing, developing at lighting speed and creating venues perfect for holding city-wide events to smaller meetings.

Like the legendary cowboy culture, Tex-Mex cuisine, strong southern hospitality and a profound love for football, meetings are big in the state of Texas.

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…
