We may be a little partial but we do believe Abilene is the place to convene! Read what meeting planners who have met in Abilene think about our great city and the cooperation you will receive from our staff.

Our event would not be the success it is without the support of the Abilene community and local business sponsorships. What the ACVB and Taylor County Expo do for us is unequalled in any other venue we have ever been involved with.   Thanks again for everything!

"After the TSPS 2010, a number of professional surveyors and students of surveying are more enlightened and energized. On behalf of TSPS, please let me say thank you for your help and support to make sure that we could make that happen. The 2010 TSPS symposium in Abilene was successful. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the town, the hotel and Frontier Texas! We could not have done it without you."

"I wanted to thank you for your assistance with the Texas Society of Professional Surveyor’s Symposium. Your help coordinating with the MCM Elegantè Suites, Abilene Civic Center, buses and the downtown restaurants enabled TSPS and our local Chapter 18 to focus on the educational aspect of the symposium. Everyone I have talked to was really impressed with the event and Abilene."

                                              Thank you,
                                              Riley Griffith, President - Chapter 18

"The Texas Council of Chapters of Soil and Water Conservation Society (SWCS) just completed their 2010 annual meeting in Abilene. On behalf of the council, we would like to express our sincere appreciation for your support in the past as well as your local support for the local arrangements at this meeting at the MCM Elegantè. The meeting was a great success and our council would not be able to hold meetings like this without your support since we are non-profit organization. Thanks again and we look forward to you continued support in the future."

                                              Sincerely,
                                              Robert W. Schmidt and Sammy Guerra

"Thank you so much for the 'Welcome Hat' for our VIPs at the Eastern Star School of Instruction on September 11, 2010. Your remembering to accommodate these VIPs should make Abilene proud. We appreciate this jester to our charitable organization."

"Thank you so much for your work and tireless effort in making the TASO-Football state meeting such a success! Having coordinated a number of these meetings in cities both big and small throughout the state, I can unequivocally say that your cooperation, assistance and hands-on participation before and during the event were far beyond the normal assistance provided by convention and visitors bureau personnel. Should there be an opportunity for one of our other sports to have a meeting in a non-metropolitan area, I will certainly encourage them to consider Abilene."

                                              Texas Association of Sports Officials


“We would like to express our sincere appreciation to you and your staff for the outstanding job and warm hospitality extended to us during our recent convention in your city.

Abilene Convention and Visitors Bureau outshines the rest.”
