     The state of Texas has some of the most prestigious and accommodating conventions.      Texas is the constituent state of the United States of America, lying in the southcentral United States. It is bounded on the north by Oklahoma, on the east by Arkansas and Louisiana, on the southeast by the Gulf of Mexico, on the southwest by Mexico, and on the west by New Mexico. Texas is the largest of the U.S. states besides Alaska. It is both diverse in population and rich in natural resources.      Being the capital of Texas, Austin has one of the nicest convention centers. â€Å"There’s a freedom you begin to feel the closer you get to Austin†¦it’s a great place to live.†–Willie Nelson. The Austin Convention Center has a convention and meeting planning team. The planning team will:  ·Ã‚     Assist you with the invitation or bidding process to bring your professional organization to Austin for a meeting.  ·Ã‚     Relay your detailed meeting information within 24 hours to the hotel community requesting them to submit rates, dates and other meeting information directly to you by your deadline; this ‘one-stop shopping’ saves you from tracking down the right salesperson at all hotels and repeating the same detailed information over and over again.  ·Ã‚     Inform you of availability of the hotel rooms in the city for any given dates by consulting our convention and meeting calendar.  ·Ã‚     Provide you with the convention services, such as brochures and visitor guides for your attendees.  ·Ã‚     Help with housing and registration.  ·Ã‚     Help you access suppliers for a number of meeting-related services.  ·Ã‚     Attendance boosters.
