Delivering a Standout Corporate Event at the 2024 AUA Annual Meeting

To Create an Engaging High Profile Corporate Event.

‍

Meeting Logistics was contracted to manage a high-profile corporate event during the 2024 AUA Annual Meeting, scheduled for a Saturday evening in early May in San Antonio, TX. Our client's success hinged on selecting a venue that would not only be accessible to AUA conference attendees but also attract participation amidst the numerous competing activities.

Strategic Venue Selection for Maximum Impact

Understanding that the venue choice would make or break the event, we meticulously scouted and selected a location that was both convenient for attendees and compelling enough to draw interest. The strategic venue selection of The St. Anthony, A Luxury Collection Hotel, San Antonio was crucial in standing out among the multitude of conference-related events, ensuring high attendance and engagement.

Event Highlights: Keynote and Star-Studded Panel

The evening commenced with a keynote address from our client's Executive Chairman, setting a professional and inspiring tone. This was followed by an introduction to a moderated panel featuring renowned personalities Terry Bradshaw and Curt Menefee. Terry Bradshaw’s personal connection to the urological community resonated deeply with the audience, adding a layer of relevance and engagement, particularly for the football enthusiasts in attendance.
