Pre-Convention Planning

The services staff is dedicated to making sure every detail of your event is a success. Much of the success depends on the early groundwork. Our professional personnel have years of experience in determining the needs of events of every type and size. From attendance builders to volunteer committees, your planning preparations need a thorough thinking-through.  No matter how simple or complex your needs, we have trusted event suppliers that will work to ensure your vision becomes reality.

Brochures, Bags, and Badges

With so much to see and do in Birmingham, it’s essential that your attendees have guides to the city. The CVB produces comprehensive Travel Guides that describe attractions, dining, shopping opportunities, and entertainment in the area. These guides are made available to your attendees at registration to further introduce them to their host city. Bags imprinted with the Birmingham logo are popular items for packaging pre-registration materials and convention schedules. Name badge inserts with 3″x4″ plastic pin-back holders also are available in quantity at a nominal cost.

Publicity

We are pleased to work with you in getting coverage for your event. Sample news releases are available for patterning your own release or you may choose to complete a news release worksheet, and we will be glad to have it written for you. We can also provide a comprehensive list of media outlets in the area to receive your news release. Attendance-building materials, photographs, and videos of the greater Birmingham area are available through our marketing & communications department.

Guest Activities and Tours

Year-round entertainment in Birmingham includes recreational, historical, and cultural attractions and events.  Event Services personnel are experts on ideas for social gatherings during your event, as well as for family entertainment while you’re in meetings. The department is also well connected with local tour operators and other servicing providers to help you plan a wide range of activities during your visit to Birmingham.
