Karen Sweigard
Director of Meetings and Education
County Commissioners Association of Pennsylvania
Harrisburg, Pa.
What type of meeting did you hold in State College?
This was the CCAP County Administration Conference, an annual meeting of county personnel who work in administration, personnel, budget or technology departments. It is a two-day event, held every year the week after Memorial Day. In 2016 it was at The Penn Stater Hotel and Conference Center.
Was anyone particularly helpful in executing your event?
Delyn Walker, convention services manager at The Penn Stater Hotel and Conference Center, was outstanding, as she is for all of our events.
What do your attendees seem to enjoy the most about State College?
They enjoy the downtown area a lot, and will walk downtown when they are staying close by or drive/shuttle downtown if a bit farther away.
How does State College compare to other cities where you have hosted meetings?
It is a good value, and our members like it a lot. Since our meetings are only held in Pennsylvania, being in the center of the state is convenient for their travel time and budgets.
