Featured Meeting Types
The planned expansion and redevelopment of the Austin Convention Center (2025–2029) opens up an exciting opportunity for innovative event hosting through campus-style meetings. This model allows the Visit Austin team to collaborate with visionary planners, crafting cohesive attendee experiences that utilize a diverse array of hotels and unique venues across distinctive city districts, such as the Warehouse District and the 2nd Street District. There has never been a better time to host an original and flexible event that takes advantage of Austin's entire footprint.
Leverage Austin's value and accessibility to deliver a high-impact event without a high-cost budget. Our downtown core is compact and walkable, featuring hotels and entertainment districts that eliminate the need for costly transportation. This convenience, combined with Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) providing over 200 nonstop routes from 80+ destinations, makes Austin an affordable and easy-to-reach destination. Furthermore, the city’s built-in entertainment, from hundreds of live music venues to legendary cuisine, provides authentic, low-cost networking opportunities right outside your venue.
Align your convention with Austin’s deep commitment to community and the environment. Hosting in our compact and walkable downtown core naturally reduces the event's carbon footprint. The redeveloped Austin Convention Center will operate as a more efficient facility, complementing our city's many green-certified assets, including culinary leaders who earned Green Stars from the MICHELIN Guide in 2024. Encourage attendees to easily connect with nature and engage with sustainable practices on the Ann and Roy Butler Hike and Bike Trail or the Waterloo Greenway.
