Meet the Team
Go beyond the fact that we have 400,000 sq. feet of some of the most stunning meeting space in the world and 9,000 guest rooms. Go beyond the fact that we're home to a world-class research university, breathtaking Capitol, and dynamic downtown built upon an isthmus.
Beyond our destination strengths and behind the scenes, our Sales & Marketing Team embodies our Going Beyond VisitTM philosophy to ensure a successful and memorable convention, conference or event. From site selection and online-housing to transportation and vendor referrals, our team of meeting planning professionals are ready to go beyond for you.
