Begin your next successful event with Visit Plano. Here are 4 reasons to utilize our FREE services in 2021.
Site Selection assistance
When it comes to finding the right venue, you need a local team on the ground who can provide information on available options.
The Visit Plano sales team assists with the following markets: Association, Corporate, Government, SMERF (social, military, education, religious, and fraternal), and Sports.
Consider our staff your resident experts. We work hand-in-hand with Plano hotels and other venues and can arrange site visits (in-person and virtual) based on your event needs.
In this new era of learning how to safely host in-person meetings and events, our team is here to help you maneuver through these times.
Complimentary services
Service to meeting and event planners as well as sports directors is our priority at Visit Plano. Once your event is booked, our Event Services Coordinator will work with you on the specifics of your meeting and event needs. Visit Plano’s goal is to ensure that your meeting or event runs smoothly and professionally.
From housing and transportation coordination to speaker gifts and printed name badges, our Event Services Coordinator is here to help you with all those important details.
Another popular service is our ability to create custom resource lists and maps. Need a list of restaurants around your host hotel? You got it! Want a list of area urgent cares, hospitals, and athletic stores for your sports tournament? We have it! You name it and we’ll tailor it just for you.
Everything we do is customized to help you succeed. We support your group in many ways, which can save you time and money. Everyone needs that in 2021!
