Whether you're hosting a high-energy convention at the Austin Convention Center, a creative corporate retreat downtown, or a laid-back networking event with live music on South Congress, Austin brings a unique mix of innovation, culture, and cool that’s hard to beat.

With its “Keep Austin Weird” charm and thriving tech and music scenes, the city is packed with personality. When you're brainstorming event planning ideas, think beyond the agenda—encourage guests to dive into the local flavor! Suggest a stroll around Lady Bird Lake, a group selfie at the Greetings from Austin mural, or a trip to explore Zilker Park. Music lovers can catch live sets on Sixth Street, while foodies can hunt down legendary barbecue or tacos from local food trucks.

Speaking of food—Austin doesn’t mess around. Attendees can sample brisket at Franklin Barbecue, try inventive bites at East Side eateries, or enjoy margaritas and Tex-Mex with a view. Between sessions, guests can explore funky neighborhoods like Rainey Street, shop local at South Congress, or unwind in nature with a dip at Barton Springs Pool. And if your event lines up with a festival or UT game? Expect extra buzz in the air.

Add the finishing touch with custom event name badges and conference lanyards that reflect your brand and elevate your event's vibe. At Billy’s Badges, we specialize in creating vibrant, high-quality badges that make a lasting impression—while supporting sustainable event planning and management.
