Spotlight On: Gibson Entertainment Relations Showroom

Host an A-list meeting with one of the music industry's biggest names at the newly renovated Gibson Entertainment Relations Showroom, located in Penn Field at 3601 S. Congress Ave, suite G-400. Designed as a community center for the music industry, the space exemplifies Austin as the Live Music Capital of the World® for clients in any industry.

The Showroom now offers 4,600 square feet of private event space for parties, receptions and meetings for up to 250 people. In an atmosphere decked with neon signs, instruments and photos of such legendary Gibson artists as Emmylou Harris, Billy Gibbons and Les Paul, guests can meet, mingle, eat and drink.

For smaller meetings of six to eight, Gibson offers an executive conference room. Larger events can fill the showroom and spill into Penn Field's courtyard common area.

Once business is done, Gibson helps turn the meeting into a party by providing a fully-equipped, performance-ready stage. Clients handle booking the band on their own and can arrange catering through the company of their choice.

For more information, contact Codey Allen with Gibson entertainment relations at 512-692-4191 or codey.allen@gibson.com.

Philadelphia Enquirer
(November 19,2006)

"The city that produced Lance Armstrong has many bike programs in the works... For now, you can bike any number of routes, such as the hilly Dam Loop, Shoal Creek Trail (with a creek crossing), and Mary Moore Park trail, where bikers can stop and shoot some hoops."

Musically Inclined

Toronto Star
(November 4, 2006)

"You get the distinct impression that this is a town that moves to its own beat. And in Austin, you can bet that beat will be supplied by a live band. Real people, real instruments, real sweat and real emotion...Blues, jazz, rock, country, whatever you like, you can find."

"Any good meeting plan starts with a list of objectives. When one of those objectives is to ensure that attendees return to the job refreshed, rejuvenated and raring to get back to work, it's time to resort to a spa. A spa resort, that is. ...At the 25,000-square-foot Lakehouse Spa at Lake Austin Spa Resort in Austin, TX, men can indulge in a "Manmade Facial" or "MANicure." The exclusive lakefront resort features 40 guest rooms and can accommodate up to 30 attendees for an exclusive retreat."
