How We Can Help

Pre-Convention Planning

The success of your convention depends largely on its early groundwork. The Convention Services Department will assist you in finalizing all details with regard to accommodations and meeting facilities. We can also pass along surefire ideas to help you create the right environment for productive, professional meetings and memorable times after hours.

We can help you "sell" Mobile to your members with informational materials, videos, and brochures that will pique their interest. For guests and family members, we can suggest any number of unique sights and intriguing side trips they can take while you are meeting or otherwise tending to business.

Spouse and Youth Activities:

Your accompanying guests will find plenty of entertainment during the hours you are in meetings. In addition to the local attractions to explore, Convention Services can assist you in arranging a number of delightful and exciting spouse and youth activities.

Attendance Builders:

The Convention Services Department can assist in providing the proper materials to help boost the attendance for your Mobile meeting. Requests can be made through the Convention Services Department to our industry partners who can provide informative material to promote your meeting.

Publicity:

The Visit Mobile Communications Department can offer valuable suggestions for media coverage of your meeting. We will provide a publicity list which includes a list of newspaper, television and radio stations in the Mobile area. Additional publicity is provided through a list of scheduled conventions, which Visit Mobile releases to area media on a regular basis.
