Before You Arrive: How Discover Monroe-West Monroe Can Help

Choosing the right destination is only the beginning. At Discover Monroe-West Monroe, our team works alongside planners before an event ever arrives and continues that support through event day.

Want to see the destination before you commit? We can coordinate sponsored site visits so you can tour facilities, explore hotels, and experience Monroe-West Monroe firsthand. Once you’re ready to move forward, our team can assist with facility availability and contract facilitation, establishing hotel room blocks, transportation coordination, and referrals for catering and other local services.

But our support doesn’t stop with logistics.

Depending on the needs of your event, Discover Monroe-West Monroe can also assist with:

• Coordinating local officials, referees and scorekeepers

• Recruiting and coordinating volunteers

• Planning staff or officials’ welcome receptions

• Assisting with opening ceremonies

• Providing welcome bags and visitor information tables

• Developing spouse and guest itineraries

• Creating board meeting activities and special experiences

• Connecting planners with local vendors and service providers

We can also help get the word out. Our marketing team can support qualifying events through website content, social media, event promotion, digital programs, QR codes and other informational resources to help participants easily find the information they need.

Need something specifically designed for your group? We’ll work with you on that, too. From developing engaging spouse experiences to helping create activities around a board meeting, our team knows Monroe-West Monroe and can help turn downtime into another memorable part of the event.

Every event has different needs. That’s why our approach isn’t one-size-fits-all. Tell us what you’re trying to accomplish, and we’ll work with our local partners to help make it happen.

When you bring your event to Monroe-West Monroe, you’re getting more than a venue. You’re getting a destination team ready to help from the first site visit to the final day of competition.
