If you haven’t been to Louisville, you are in for a treat. Louisville is a city that combines heritage with innovation, authenticity with originality, and quirkiness with friendliness in a way that’s completely unique.
Louisville was recently named one of the “10 Best New Food Cities” in America. You’ll also discover one-of-a-kind attractions like the legendary Churchill Downs, the Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory, and the Muhammad Ali Center. And of course, you can’t forget that it’s the only place to have the Urban Bourbon Experience, featuring the world’s only citywide trail filled with award-winning micro-distilleries, exhibits, and craft cocktail destinations.
The AWT 2020 Annual Convention & Expo will be held at the Kentucky International Convention Center (KICC). The headquarters hotel is the Omni Louisville Hotel. It is located one block from KICC. We also have an overflow hotel, the Marriott Louisville Hotel which is located across the street from KICC and there is a connecting walkway to the Center.
