  Athens is the perfect place to hold meetings, conventions, reunions, or any type of gathering you can imagine.  There are facilities capable of adapting to the large or small group—ranging from individual meeting rooms to outdoor arenas.  Meeting rooms are available in Cain Center, at local motels, Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center, and at Trinity Valley Community College.  The Henderson County Fair Complex is one of the largest covered arenas in East Texas and is host to many events throughout the year.

  Located in the Prairies & Lakes area of Texas also makes Athens a perfect place to gather.  Temperatures are moderate—not too hot or too cold—and State Highways 31, 19, and 59 pass through the city as well as US 175.  Airports (DFW, Tyler Pounds Field, an Athens Municipal Airport) are in the area for convenient traveling.  Athens is also in close proximity to Interstates 45 and 20.  Only 75 miles southeast of Dallas and 189 miles north of Houston puts Athens in a prime spot for easy access.

  High-quality facilities, a prime location, and friendly people to help make your meeting or group gathering a success is just the beginning.  Athens stands ready to help you make this an event to be remembered.
