The Owensboro Convention Center has been named a 2025 recipient of the Centers of Excellence Award, a prestigious recognition given to the best convention centers in North America for hosting trade shows and events.
This award is part of an initiative launched to identify and honor venues that excel in providing exceptional experiences for trade shows. The Owensboro Convention Center was chosen after being evaluated through an objective process that takes into account a variety of factors valued by industry professionals. This includes feedback from event planners, show organizers, and exhibit managers, as well as a review of each venue's event spaces, selling points, and innovations.
Jeff Esposito, the Convention Center’s General Manager, expressed pride in the award, crediting the facility’s dedicated team. “Being named a Center of Excellence is an incredible honor, and I’m deeply grateful to our team for their commitment to excellence,” Esposito said. “This recognition highlights the hard work of our staff, partners, and the entire Owensboro community in delivering top-tier experiences. We are committed to continuing to elevate the standards of service, innovation, and hospitality.”
Tim Ross, the Public Events Director for the City of Owensboro, also celebrated the achievement. “I’m immensely proud of the team’s ongoing commitment to excellence. For over a decade, we’ve worked to set the standard for exceptional trade shows and events, and this award is a testament to that dedication.”
The Centers of Excellence Award is based on a thorough evaluation process that includes a survey of those who have recently hosted or attended events at the facility. Awarded venues have demonstrated their ability to host events of all sizes while maintaining high standards of service and providing state-of-the-art accommodations.
“This award helps event managers identify venues that offer a seamless, exhibitor-friendly experience,” said Emily Olson, editor of EXHIBITOR magazine. “The Owensboro Convention Center has proven its ability to deliver world-class service, and it’s a well-deserved recognition for their continued excellence in the industry.”
