Texas doesn’t mess around when it comes to making a big impression—whether it’s a first impression or a lasting impression. From established icons to shiny new additions, attendees will long remember the Lone Star State after meetings end.
Having tackled the recession head-on, the state is beaming with optimism and preparing to host what is sure to be an indelible event: Super Bowl XLV at Cowboys Stadium. Meanwhile, exciting developments are changing skylines and expanding horizons.
For our third annual Meetings Texas supplement, contributing writer Jeff Heilman talks business with some of the state’s prominent suppliers to get their perspective on the market, then reports on the latest venues, attractions and enhancements taking shape in every major region. He also gets the scoop from locals on some of the hottest group experiences in five top destinations, profiles interesting local stars "made" in Texas and covers several unexpected team-building options—zip lining through the forest, blowing glass and becoming a rock star for a day, to name a few.
Statewide CVB contacts are also included, along with an Advertisers’ Expanded Listings section.
Be sure to check out the digital edition of Meetings Texas 2010, which features a two-page spread on 10 of the state’s terrific dining options—from the classic to the cutting-edge—and head to MeetingsFocus.com for more resources and information on Texas.
