Our second symposium is at a first-rate venue.
The Hilton Austin hotel is located in downtown Austin, Texas, and is the only Austin hotel located adjacent to the Austin Convention Center. The Hilton Austin features the Tower Health Club & Spa. In addition, the hotel is only one block from Austin's famous Sixth Street nightlife and a short stroll to the entertainment, shopping, and dining in the Warehouse Entertainment District and 2nd Street District. The downtown location is also convenient to many attractions such as the Capitol Building, Bob Bullock Texas State Historical Museum, and the LBJ Presidential Library. |
