Oak View Group, the venue management provider for the Owensboro Convention Center, has once again been recognized as a premier destination for meetings and conventions by Facilities and Destinations magazine. This marks the eleventh time the venue has received the prestigious Prime Site Award, which is annually awarded to the top convention and exposition centers in the United States.
Facilities and Destinations is a quarterly trade publication serving the meetings and events industry. The Prime Site Awards, which have been bestowed annually since 1994, are primarily voted on by association and corporate meeting planners, as well as tradeshow professionals. These awards recognize venues and organizations that stand out in the highly competitive meetings market, as determined by their clients.
“We are honored to receive our 11th Prime Site Award from Facilities and Destinations,” stated Owensboro Convention Center General Manager, Jeff Esposito. “This prestigious recognition is a testament to our hardworking staff’s unwavering dedication and exceptional teamwork. Winning this award again motivates us to continue delivering outstanding service and memorable experiences for all our guests. We are committed to upholding the high standards that have earned us this accolade year after year.”
Tim Ross, Director of Public Events for the City of Owensboro, emphasized the Owensboro Convention Center’s commitment to surpassing client expectations. “Since our opening over a decade ago, our aim has been to be recognized among the nation’s premier convention centers. Receiving the Prime Site Award once more underscores our staff’s dedication to excellence and our collaborative approach with every event host,” Ross stated.
The Owensboro Convention Center will be highlighted as a Prime Site Award recipient in the upcoming 2024 Facilities and Destinations SuperBook issue.
