Oak View Group, the provider of venue management to the Owensboro Convention Center, is thrilled to share that ConventionSouth has recognized the venue with a 2025 Readers’ Choice Award! The award celebrates excellence among top meeting and event destinations across the South.
“ConventionSouth readers and fans have once again voted to decide the best meeting sites in the South, and it is no surprise to us that Owensboro Convention Center has been selected to receive our annual Readers’ Choice Award,” said ConventionSouth Associate Publisher Tiffany Burtnett. “This prestigious recognition comes from the United States’ top meeting professionals who hold events in the South. These planners demand the highest level of customer service and quality facilities, and they have determined that Owensboro Convention Center indeed displays the commitment to professionalism, creativity, and service that they require.”
“This recognition reflects the hard work and dedication of our entire team,” said Jeff Esposito, General Manager of the Owensboro Convention Center. “Our staff takes great pride in providing excellent service and creating memorable experiences for every guest. We’re grateful to our clients and community for their continued support.”
The Owensboro Convention Center is among 502 convention and visitor bureaus (CVBs), meeting facilities, hotels, and unique venues located across the South to receive this year’s Readers’ Choice Award. Throughout the year, meeting professionals nominated the meeting sites they believe provide exemplary service for group events. The nominated sites are then compiled onto an online ballot where meeting professionals and fans are asked to vote for the best of the best. With over 7,000 voters participating in the selection process and the highest social media interaction to date, this has been the most successful and engaging year ever!
Since its creation in 2001, this is the tenth time that Owensboro Convention Center has received the award, making it an even greater honor to present the venue with a 2025 Readers’ Choice Award. The venue will be featured as an award recipient in the December 2025 Awards Issue of ConventionSouth magazine.
