Oak View Group, the venue management provider for the Owensboro Convention Center, is proud to announce that the facility has once again been recognized as a premier destination for meetings and conventions by Facilities & Destinations magazine. This marks the thirteenth time the venue has received the prestigious Prime Site Award, placing it among the nation’s top convention and exposition centers.
The Prime Site Awards, presented annually since 1994, recognize outstanding venues that set the standard for excellence in the meetings and events industry. Award recipients are selected primarily through voting by association and corporate meeting planners, as well as tradeshow professionals, making this honor a testament to the exceptional experiences and service provided to clients and guests.
“Being named a Facilities & Destinations Prime Site Award winner means that your convention center and its event staff does an exemplary job of working with meeting planners, tradeshow managers, and exhibitors,” said Michael Caffin, Facilities & Destinations Associate Publisher.
“This continued recognition reflects our teams’ dedication to providing exceptional service, outstanding facilities, and memorable experiences for meeting planners, event organizers, and guests,” stated Owensboro Convention Center General Manager, Jeff Esposito. “The award further reinforces the venue’s reputation as a premier choice for conventions, tradeshows, and other events throughout the region and across the country.”
The Owensboro Convention Center will be featured as a 2026 Prime Site Award recipient in the upcoming Facilities and Destinations SuperBook issue in August.
