On the heels of its 175th anniversary of independence in 2011, the Lone Star State is turning the page to yet another new chapter in its eclectic, eccentric evolution. While Texas is firmly rooted in the past, delivering some of the country’s most compelling historical experiences, the future looks bright in this ever-resilient mecca of the South, where savvy marketing and promotional outreach combine with impressive new developments and culturally rich amenities to set it apart as a meetings destination of today—and tomorrow.
In his fifth consecutive Meetings Focus Texas supplement, contributing writer Jeff Heilman pulls out all the stops, taking a close look at the evolving nature of the major metros and the second-tier communities, as well as hot spots of the Gulf Coast, South Texas and West Texas.
In between, meeting planners weigh in with their experiences in various destinations, and the spotlight shines on treasures such as San Antonio’s culinary cachet and Austin’s legendary South by Southwest festival.
