Oak View Group, the venue management provider for the Owensboro Convention Center, is proud to announce that the venue has once again been recognized as a top destination for meetings and conventions by Facilities & Destinations magazine. This marks the twelfth time the facility has received the prestigious Prime Site Award.
Presented annually since 1994, the Prime Site Awards honor the leading convention and exposition centers across the United States. Winners are selected primarily by association and corporate meeting planners, as well as tradeshow professionals, making this award a direct reflection of client satisfaction in a highly competitive industry.
“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. “Your city and your staff should be proud!”
“This recognition speaks to the standard Oak View Group sets and the dedication of our local team. Many of our team members grew up in Owensboro, and their pride in this community shows in the work they do. We’re committed to making the Owensboro Convention Center a place where planners know their events will run smoothly,” said Jeff Esposito, General Manager of the Owensboro Convention Center.
“The staff at the Owensboro Convention Center continues to set the standard for exceptional customer service among meeting planners nationwide,” stated Tim Ross, Director of Public Events for the City of Owensboro. “Since our grand opening, our mission has been to deliver a premier meeting venue paired with outstanding support for every event organizer. I’m proud that our dedicated team has once again been recognized for achieving that vision.”
The Owensboro Convention Center will be highlighted as a Prime Site Award recipient in the upcoming 2025 Facilities and Destinations SuperBook issue.
