Waco is a beautiful city located in central Texas, just 90 miles or so from both Dallas and Austin. Our meetings will be held at the Waco Convention Center which contains outstanding conference facilities for not ouly our banquets, regional breakout and technical sessions, but for our exhibitors as well. We will stay in the Waco Hilton and the Mariott Courtyard which are both located immediately adjacent to the Waco Convention Center. Both hotels have offered excellent rates with a final room rate guaranteed not to exceed the allowable room rate for Texas State Employees in 2001.
Parking is ample and free.
The Waco Convention Center is also adjacent to Waco's new Entertainment District which has ten new restaurants, plus shopping and clubs. During your free time, you may also want to visit the local attractions which include the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame and Museum, the Texas Sports Hall of Fame, Cameron Park Zoo and natural area, Baylor University's Armstrong Browning Library, the Strecker Museum, the Governor Bill and Vara Daniels Historic Village, and of course, the world famous Dr Pepper Museum. Both hotels have airport van service.
