Winners are recognized for their leadership, excellence, and positive impacts made within the industry. “We believe it is important to recognize the people and organizations responsible for some of the best products and services,” said Randi Freedman, President, Conventions.net. “Rapid City offers unparalleled demographics; placed at the halfway mark from either coast. Conventions.net is happy to see that the city boasts over 5,100 hotel rooms with many large meeting facilities.” “There are no other images quite as patriotic as America’s own mighty Mount Rushmore. Attracting approximately 3 million visitors annually, this historic monument is one of the many reasons Rapid City, South Dakota, is a ‘Must See’ destination for both business and leisure travelers,” Freedman continued. “ It’s good to know that Presidents Washington, Jefferson, Roosevelt and Lincoln are looking down and smiling on a smart choice to hold any convention, trade show, or meeting.” The Rapid City Convention and Visitors Bureau is a non-profit destination marketing organization promoting leisure travel, special/sporting events and group travel/tours to Rapid City and the Black Hills Area. ### Contact: |
