Convention Connections, Inc.

Convention Connections, Inc. is a Richmond, Virginia-based conference and convention planning company supporting organisations with the practical, strategic and logistical work required to deliver successful meetings. Its services are designed for associations, corporations, professional groups, non-profits and other organisations arranging conferences, conventions, retreats and business meetings across the United States.

The company can assist from the earliest planning stages, starting with research into suitable hotels, convention centres and meeting facilities. It evaluates locations against the organiser’s requirements, including capacity, room layouts, accommodation, food and beverage arrangements, audiovisual needs, accessibility and budget. Convention Connections then acts as a central point of contact during negotiations, helping clients secure suitable terms and manage agreements with hotels, venues and suppliers.

Its wider conference management support covers attendee registration, VIP arrangements, speaker logistics, exhibitor and sponsor coordination, conference correspondence, budgeting, task timelines, room set-up, catering arrangements and audiovisual planning. The team can also coordinate site visits and provide on-site management, helping organisers manage the event smoothly while dealing with operational details and unexpected issues as they arise.

Convention Connections works with both large-scale conventions attracting thousands of participants and smaller meetings or executive retreats. Its experience includes citywide conventions, association conferences, corporate meetings, educational events and multi-day programmes. Organisers retain control over the event’s objectives and key decisions, while the company provides detailed research, supplier coordination, negotiation expertise and hands-on implementation. This makes it a suitable partner for planners seeking additional capacity, specialist conference knowledge or end-to-end support for complex meetings.
