Event planners in Austin work across downtown, South Congress and East Austin, with the lakes and Hill Country just west of the city and live music, barbecue and outdoor venues throughout.

Venues and event infrastructure

The Austin Convention Center sits downtown. Hotels, music venues, rooftops and private dining rooms suit city programs, and ranches and resorts in the Hill Country add space for retreats.

Getting there

Austin-Bergstrom International (AUS) is about 7.5 miles from downtown, roughly 15 minutes by car, with nonstop service to more than 75 destinations. San Antonio is about 80 miles away, roughly 1 hour 20 minutes in normal traffic.

Moving the group and accessibility

Downtown and South Congress are walkable, so many evenings need no transport. Coaches handle airport transfers and trips to Lake Travis, ranches and Hill Country wineries.

Weather and best seasons

Normal highs are about 80°F in April and 83°F in October. July and August average about 97 to 98°F, so summer activities move to mornings, evenings or the water. Check dates against SXSW in March and the Austin City Limits Music Festival in October before booking.

Events to run here

Leadership offsites, sales kickoffs, conferences, product launches and company parties all fit. Activities include live-music nights, barbecue dinners, paddling on Lady Bird Lake and Hill Country day trips.
