Thursday, October 12th
4pm - 9pm
Our team has been hard at work designing a BIGGER... BOLDER... BESTFEST!
We've maintained all the favorites like the Innovations Tradeshow, Technical Seminars, Product Demonstrations, Food, Drinks, Networking and much more...
But we'll be hosting from a new venue this year:
The Ballroom at Bayou Place in downtown Houston.
The name BestFest ties to our focus to be the best solution for our customers and Technology Partners. The AWC BestFest has always been about celebrating, networking, and sharing technological innovations.
This year’s AWC BestFest theme “Innovation Accelerated” conveys the need to embrace the quickly-evolving technologies that will help us innovate and stay ahead of the competition.
