Welcome to the Waterbury region in Connecticut. Our historic region, centrally located between New York and Boston, offers meeting planners value, accessibility and outstanding service for an event that will top all others. As we say: No better price, no better place.
How can we make such a bold statement? In the Waterbury region you'll find the kind of bottom-line convention and meeting facilities you need. Our hotel rates are some of the most competitive in the Northeast. Choose from more than 900 sleeping rooms and meeting rooms, all within a few miles of one other. We offer meeting planners an economical alternative to larger cities.
Our central Connecticut location and placement at the intersection of major highways means that we are easy to reach by car, bus, plane and train. The Waterbury region is large enough to offer a variety of activities, yet small enough for easy travel and plenty of personal service.
First we roll up our sleeves, then we roll out the carpet. Our friendly, flexible staff wants you to be completely satisfied with your Waterbury region meeting. We won't squeeze your convention into a prescribed format; we'll shape it around your needs.
From housing arrangements and event planning to proposal assistance, our bureau offers services that are usually found only in larger convention and visitors bureaus. We provide promotional materials to excite your group, media contacts to get the word out, registration and information assistance to start your convention off right, and welcome letters from local officials to show you how truly glad we are that you came.
Sometimes even the best-planned conventions have last-minute snags. We have the contacts to get most anything in a hurry. Just tell us what you need and we're on our way.
In addition to events planning, we can help create memorable activities for your group. Treat your group's spouses, families or accompanying guests to fun, fascinating outings throughout New England. From on-your-own drive tour itineraries to full-day trips with transportation and guide service provided, we can design an excursion that's perfect for your group and its guests.
Outside adventures abound! Try a nostalgic ride on a restored train through the winding hills of Litchfield or browse amongst the bric-a-brac in Seymour Antiques. Whether your group has just a little time or lot, there is plenty to see and do in the Waterbury region.
What do some of our clients say about our services?
"When we were proposing Waterbury for our convention site, the staff at the Waterbury Region Convention & Visitors Bureau couldn't have been more helpful," said Albert Rubelmann of the New England Square & Round Dancers following his group's successful event. "Thanks to their complete information, our proposal received a unanimous vote from the site-selection committee over two other major Northeast cities. Many members said it was one of the best presentations brought to the committee in 35 years."
Said Judy Marks from Princess House of Colgate-Palmolive: "All we heard from the convention staff at Waterbury was, 'Tell us what you want, and we'll do everything we can to arrange it for you at the very best price.' And frankly, that's all we want to hear now. The Waterbury region really spoiled us."
Corporate, association, large or small, our bureau strives to make your planning as easy as possible and your event as exciting and memorable for all who attend.
Our region encompasses the following towns Beacon Falls, Middlebury, Naugatuck, Oxford, Seymour, Thomaston, Waterbury, Watertown and Wolcott - each with its own uniqueness and charm. We look forward to welcoming your group to our region.
To contact us for assistance or for information on the area, please call or write us at: Waterbury Region Convention & Visitors Bureau, 21 Church Street, Waterbury 06702, 203-597-9527.
Dana Wislocki is executive director of the Waterbury Region Convention & Visitors Bureau.
