In the heart of downtown San Antonio, inspiration flows like the current of the famed Riverwalk. Vibrant energy stimulates the mind and creates an environment where meetings flourish in a setting that is Uniquely San Antonio. Uniquely Contessa.

The Riverwalk
A world famous tourist attraction, lined with individual businesses composed of restaurants, hotels, attractions and more. The Riverwalk connects major tourist sites and locations.

Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center
Featuring more than 600,000 sq. ft. in meeting space and more than 430,000 sq. ft. of contiguous exhibit hall space. General sessions options include three of the largest ballrooms in the city and a 2,410-seat theatre. San Antonio provides more than enough to accommodate any size meeting.

Walk the Walk
Everything in downtown San Antonio is just a stroll or walk away. You can also whistle down a River taxi to get to the Museum Reach of the Riverwalk. Trolley cars are also available on street level - which is ideal if you want to make it down to Market Square, a traditional and historic Mexican shopping district.

East, Meet West
San Antonio is centrally located between both East and West Coasts so attendees don't have to fly clear across the country - downtown San Antonio is only eight miles from the airport.

Year-round Sunshine
With about 300 days of sunshine a year, the ideal destination is San Antonio. Bright summers and outgoing winters allow attendees to pack light and casual for their stay.

Increase Event Attendence
CVB services are available to you when you book a San Antonio meeting and will aid you in achieving higher attendance for your events. In addition, the CVB has a treasure chest of marketing collateral and professional templates to help you.

Remember the Alamo
An iconic phrase that spread virally throughout the ages and history books, every San Antonio visitors visit isn't complete without a tour of the Alamo, located in downtown San Antonio - hosting more than 2.5 million visitors yearly.

Foodies Get Ready
