It is with great honor that the publishers of ConventionSouth, the national  multimedia resource for planning events in the South, present VisitLEX with a 2025 Readers’ Choice Award. 

“ConventionSouth readers and fans have once again voted to decide the best meeting sites in the South, and it is no  surprise to us that VisitLEX has been selected to receive our annual Readers’ Choice Award,” said ConventionSouth Associate Publisher Tiffany Burtnett. “This prestigious recognition comes from the United States’ top meeting  professionals who hold events in the South. These planners demand the highest level of customer service and quality  facilities, and they have determined that VisitLEX indeed displays the commitment to professionalism, creativity, and  service that they require.” 

VisitLEX is among 502 convention and visitor bureaus (CVBs), meeting facilities, hotels, and unique venues located across  the South to receive this year’s Readers’ Choice Award. Throughout the year, meeting professionals nominated the  meeting sites they believe provide exemplary service for group events. The nominated sites are then compiled onto an  online ballot where meeting professionals and fans are asked to vote for the best of the best. With over 7,000 voters  participating in the selection process and the highest social media interaction to date, this has been the most successful  and engaging year ever! 

Since its creation in 2001, this is the tenth time that VisitLEX has received the award, making it an even greater honor to  present the venue with a 2025 Readers’ Choice Award. VisitLEX will be featured as an award recipient in the December  2025 Awards Issue of ConventionSouth magazine.  

This exciting issue will also showcase some of the most talented meeting professionals in the nation as ConventionSouth presents planners with its annual “Meeting Professionals To Watch” designation. “Featuring peer advice and trade  secrets from our Meeting Professionals to Watch in 2025, our Awards Issue is one of the most popular must-read  resources within the meetings industry,” Burtnett said. 

Celebrating over 40 years as a leading meeting planning resource for Southern destinations, ConventionSouth is based in  Gulf Shores, Ala., and is distributed to more than 18,000 meeting professionals located across the country who book  events held within the South.
