Recognition highlights Frisco’s group business appeal and corporate event success
(Frisco, Texas) May 14, 2024 – Today, Visit Frisco announced the city was named the 40th Top Meeting Destination in North America by industry-leading meetings, events, and hospitality technology provider, Cvent. The globally recognized Cvent Top Meeting Destinations lists evaluate and rank cities that are successfully engaging event planners and attracting group business to their locales. Rankings are determined based on sourcing activity through the Cvent Supplier Network, one of the world’s largest venue-sourcing platforms. This is the second year in a row Frisco has been recognized as a Cvent Top Destination.
“It’s rewarding to see that our meetings activity and bookings from our monumental 2023 help put us on Cvent’s Top Destinations list again. This recognition wouldn’t be possible without the amazing Visit Frisco sales team and wonderful hotel and venue partners in Frisco,” says Christina Decker, Director of Sales for Visit Frisco.
From several professional sports organizations and 9 million square feet of retail space to over 4,400 hotel rooms, more than 417,000 square feet of flexible meeting space, and two major airports nearby, Frisco, Texas offers both the hospitality and the venues to host group gatherings, meetings, or conferences. Frisco has successfully hosted events in a range of industries, associations, and leisure groups, including the NCAA Division I Football Championship Series, Texas Pinball Festival, Academy of Country Music Awards, College Baseball Classic, and distinguished associations and corporate groups from all over the country.
Cvent evaluated 12,500+ cities worldwide listed on the Cvent Supplier Network. Activity was tracked between January 2023 and December 2023. Rankings were determined by a set of qualifying criteria, including: the number of total room nights booked through the Cvent Supplier Network; the number of unique electronic request-for-proposals (RFPs) sent through the marketplace to venues within the city; the total value of the RFPs submitted; and the actual awarded value for meetings booked.
