San Antonio as you have never experienced it before

This is not your typical San Antonio Riverwalk experience—instead ICBA 2010 escapes to the Westin La Cantera, which boasts a wonderful location in the heart of the charming Texas Hill Country. Built on the hilltop site of an abandoned limestone rock quarry, the hotel is surrounded by natural beauty and historic sites, with easy access to the bright lights of the city and a wealth of shopping and dining activities right next door.

ICBA Room rate: $119

Free morning coffee service and newspaper                         

Complimentary champagne or non-alcoholic bubbly upon check-in

Exhibit smarter. Rather than disengaging from the exhibiting process, go smarter. Don’t stop going, just go differently. That is why ICBA PRIMEtime is so important.

 

More information and registration will be available soon.
