Explore San Antonio

San Antonio is an unforgettable city with a combination of history, culture, natural beauty and a wide range of activities.  Conference attendees will have the opportunity to explore many historical and cultural sites minutes from the convention center including the historic Alamo, 15-mile River Walk full of shopping and dining, the San Antonio missions and various art and music venues. The Alamo city offers the perfect environment to network with colleagues and think big.  All of this and over 300 days of sunshine a year make San Antonio a highly sought after destination. 

The NASPA 2017 local arrangements team are excited to share their passion about San Antonio with everyone.  Throughout the year, they will be giving you a virtual tour of all the big things happening in the Alamo city through vlogs.  Here are a few suggestions to add to your to-do list for San Antonio in 2017.
