What They're Saying...

Our Clients

"I can say without hesitation that the Greater Richmond Region went above and beyond our expectations to make our more than 3,500 members feel welcomed. I would respectfully ask that you inform your readers how absolutely top notch your local elected officials, convention center staff, local volunteers, and area hotels have been in making this Annual Conference the most enjoyable and productive ever. I know that I will forever cherish my week in Richmond completing my term as NACo President."
-Colleen Landkamer, Immediate Past President, National Association of Counties

"It's refreshing to know that "esprit de corps" is alive and well in Henrico County. My only disappointment was not being able to stay for the entire tournament. I think I can speak for our entire Connecticut contingent when I say Glen Allen is a first-class town in a first-class county in a first-class state.

In the future, when I hear the word "hospitality," I'm sure my thoughts will flash back to the great people of Glen Allen."
-John O'Neill, Babe Ruth World Series Attendee, Norwalk Connecticut

"As a meeting planner, I found working with the RMCVB, the Greater Richmond Convention Center, and related hotels to be a pleasant, pain-free experience. From the beginning stages of the process, when negotiations were going on, the people with whom I was dealing were very responsive to ABWA's needs and to my requests. Their demonstrated attitude was one of willingness to work together, and this was maintained up to and through the convention itself."
- Betty Burns, Convention Manager, American Business Women's Association

"Richmond itself is a gracious historic city that's as intent on preserving its heritage as on striding into the future. The focal point of Richmond's offerings for groups, and the stimulus for a revived city center, is the Greater Richmond Convention Center. . Located on the James River, Richmond boasts a distinctive blend of historic neighborhoods, restored mansions, old waterfront warehouses that now house stylish restaurants and clubs."
- "Central Virginia: Marrying New and Old," Meetings & Conventions, February 2005
