Exhibitors Traveling to Houston

Welcome to Houston, America’s fourth largest city. For the past decade, more than $5 billion has been spent on revitalizing downtown Houston, and convention attendees reap the benefits of this development, all within walking distance. In April, Discovery Green downtown park replaced 12 acres of parking lots in front of the convention center. The Grove, a destination restaurant inside the park, offers gourmet dining with views unlike any in the city. The state-of-the-art stadiums that flank the convention center provide sports action year-round (baseball, basketball and hockey). The 17-block Theater District offers world-class performances in ballet, opera, symphony and theater. Plus, with the light rail only 5 blocks away, many other attractions, including the Museum District, Houston Zoo and Reliant Park (home of the Houston Texans), are easily accessible. ForbesTraveler.com just rated Houston the sixth best restaurant city in America, so don’t miss Houston’s incredible dining options. Come to Houston for the NCSS Annual Conference and experience it all.
