Raleigh, N.C. (October 1, 2024) – Meetings Today has announced the winners of its 2024 Best of Meetings Today Awards, an annual recognition given to the top meeting facilities and destination marketing organizations (DMOs) in North America, as well as the top global DMOs. The Greater Raleigh Convention and Visitors Bureau (Visit Raleigh) was recognized in the Best South CVBs/DMOs category. The winners were selected via voting by Meetings Today’s audience and a review by its content team.

An April 2024 Meetings Today article explained Raleigh’s appeal, stating that, “visitors are likewise drawn by that blend of large city amenities with a touch of small-town charm, along with Raleigh’s strong commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion, which creates a rich, welcoming and rewarding environment for all visitors.”

“Every year, we reach out to our audience to ask them to vote for their top facilities and DMOs,” said Tyler Davidson, vice president and chief content director of Meetings Today. “Our annual Best of Meetings Today Awards recognize the leading properties and DMOs in the industry and can also serve as a great resource for planners when they are researching sites for their meetings.”

The following criteria were applied to the nomination of meeting facilities, where applicable: quality of meeting space, guest rooms, guest services and amenities, food and beverage service, efficiency and helpfulness of staff, availability and quality of tech, recreational facilities and activities, cleanliness and overall value and experience. The criteria for nominating destinations was the overall service they provided to planners for their meetings and events. You can discover all 2024 Best of Meetings Today Awards winners here.
