Discover Albany has been assisting meeting specialists for 40 years, acting as a community concierge to attract visitors or all ages, reasons, and seasons, as well as ensure successful meetings, conventions, and events held in Albany. The Discover Albany staff works with its Board of Directors, partners, volunteers, and other hospitality organizations to contribute to the ever-expanding hospitality industry in the Capital Region and beyond. Discover Albany also operates the Albany Visitors Center, which is located at historic Quackenbush Square (corner of Clinton Avenue and Broadway in downtown Albany) and the Information Desk at the Albany International Airport.
