GULF SHORES, AL. (October 25, 2024)—It is with great honor that the publishers of ConventionSouth, the national multimedia resource for planning events in the South, present Birmingham Jefferson Convention Complex with a 2024 Readers’ Choice Award.
“Convention South readers and fans have once again voted to decide the best meeting sites in the South, and it is no surprise to us that Birmingham Jefferson Convention Complex has been selected to receive our annual Readers’ Choice Award,” said ConventionSouth Associate Publisher Tiffany Burtnett. “This prestigious recognition comes from the United States’ top meeting professionals who hold events in the South. These planners demand the highest level of customer service and quality facilities, and they have determined that Birmingham Jefferson Convention Complex indeed displays the commitment to professionalism, creativity, and service that they require.”
Birmingham Jefferson Convention Complex is among 474 convention and visitor bureaus (CVBs), meeting facilities, hotels, and unique venues located across the South to receive this year’s Readers’ Choice Award. Throughout the year, meeting professionals nominated the meeting sites they believe provide exemplary service for group events. The nominated sites are then compiled onto an online ballot where meeting professionals and fans are asked to vote for the best of the best. With over 7,200 voters participating in the selection process and the highest social media interaction to date, this has been the most successful and engaging year ever!
Since its creation in 2001, this is the second time that Birmingham Jefferson Convention Complex has received the award, making it an even greater honor to present the venue with a 2024 Readers’ Choice Award. Birmingham Jefferson Convention Complex will be featured as an award recipient in the December 2024 Awards Issue of ConventionSouth magazine.
This exciting issue will also showcase some of the most talented meeting professionals in the nation as ConventionSouth presents planners with its annual “Meeting Professionals To Watch” designation. “Featuring peer advice and trade secrets from our Meeting Professionals to Watch in 2024, our Awards Issue is one of the most popular must-read resources within the meetings industry,” Burtnett said.
Celebrating over 40 years as a leading meeting planning resource for Southern destinations, ConventionSouth is based in Gulf Shores, Ala., and is distributed to more than 18,000 meeting professionals located across the country who book events held within the South.
