CVC Books Two New Convention Groups for St. Louis
The St. Louis Convention & Visitors Commission (CVC) is announcing the booking of two new groups for St. Louis' future convention calendar.
The National Association of Drug Court Professionals has selected St. Louis for its 2008 Annual Conference. The Alexandria, Virginia-based group will bring 2,200 attendees to St. Louis in late May 2008. Members will use more than 5,000 hotel room nights in St. Louis and will spend more than $2 million in the local economy during the conference. St. Louis won the group in competition with San Antonio and Pittsburgh.
The Family Career and Community Leaders of America also has chosen St. Louis for a future meeting. The group will bring 3,000 members to St. Louis in mid-November 2010. Attendees will use more than 2,200 hotel room nights and will spend $2.4 million in the St. Louis economy during their stay. St. Louis won the Reston, Virginia-based group over competing bids from Minneapolis, Kansas City, Milwaukee, Cincinnati and Des Moines.
The St. Louis Convention & Visitors Commission is the official destination marketing organization for St. Louis for St. Louis City and County. The CVC sells St. Louis as a convention, meeting, group tour and leisure travel destination. The organization also manages and operates the America's Center® convention complex.
