While in Austin
![Austin expo]()
Downtown
Be imaginative and explore the zany nature and attractions of Austin while at the Austin, Texas CBD conference. Plan an afternoon of Chicken Shit Bingo at Ginny’s Little Longhorn Saloon, catch a turtle race at Little Woodrow’s, visit the Museum of Weird, then end the day at the Ann Richards Congress Avenue Bridge at dusk to witness 1.5 million Mexican free-tailed bats head out for the night. Before you head home, stop into one of Austin’s speakeasies to indulge in a deliciously-concocted cocktail by one of Austin’s über-talented mixologists.

Nightlife
Known as the live music capital of the world, Austin is the proud home of more than 250 live music venues featuring rock, blues, jazz, hip hop, punk and Latino shows every night. Take a Texas Two-Step lesson at The Broken Spoke, “the last true Texas dance hall.” Or visit the The Continental Club, the “granddaddy of Austin music venues,” and catch a blues, rock or folk performance. Enjoy the sunset views from a rooftop deck and indulge in flavorful cuisine and fancy cocktails after the Austin hemp convention.
