Austin’s Convention Centre is closing for a huge four-year overhaul. I check out how the city’s tackling it—ripping it down and rebuilding right on the spot, no temporary setup, a move no other U.S. city has tried. In this episode, I’m joined by Steve Genovesi from Visit Austin, keeping tourism steady, and Josh Delgado from the AT&T Hotel and Conference Centre, stepping up his venue as a go-to event space. We dive into how Austin’s hotels are teaming up to keep conventions rolling in the absence of a convention centre.

Austin’s not just hanging on—it’s pushing forward. With a buzzing tech world, a growing airport, and a $30 million hotel refresh, the hospitality scene is hustling to keep the industry alive. This is a real insight into a city that thrives on collaboration.
