Shelbyville, Ky. (Nov. 2024) — ConventionSouth’s readers choose the Shelbyville Conference Center as a leading meeting site in the south by awarding a 2024 Readers’ Choice Award. The Shelbyville Conference Center is among 474 convention and visitor bureaus, meeting facilities, hotels, and unique venues located across the South to receive this year’s Readers’ Choice Award.
“ConventionSouth readers and fans have once again voted to decide the best meeting sites in the South, and it is no surprise to us that Shelbyville Conference Center has been selected to receive our annual Readers’ Choice Award,” said ConventionSouth Associate Publisher Tiffany Burtnett. “This prestigious recognition comes from the United States’ top meeting professionals who hold events in the South. These planners demand the highest level of customer service and quality facilities, and they have determined that Shelbyville Conference Center indeed displays the commitment to professionalism, creativity, and service that they require.”
Throughout the year, meeting professionals nominated the meeting sites they believe provide exemplary service for group events. The nominated sites are then compiled onto an online ballot where meeting professionals and fans are asked to vote for the best of the best. More than 7,200 voters participated in the selection process.
“Since opening in 2021, this is the first time the Shelbyville Conference Center has received a ConventionSouth Readers’ Choice Award. It’s an honor to be recognized nationally for the work the ShelbyKY Tourism team puts into managing and running the Conference Center.
