About The CVB
The Waco Convention & Visitors Bureau (CVB) was established in 1983. It is a department of the City of Waco, a municipal corporation. The Convention Center & Visitors Bureau Commission is appointed by the Waco City Council.
Waco has been a destination for visitors and conventioneers since the early days of its founding in 1856. In the beginning, the process of bidding for and hosting conventions was handled by the Waco Chamber of Commerce. In 1972, the Waco Convention Center was built, and as the years passed, the need arose for a staff dedicated to marketing Waco as a destination for conventions and leisure travelers.
