BID Welcomes Visitors to Big East Tournament


Earlier this month, Downtown Hartford played host to the 2009 Big East Women's Basketball Championship. A small committee, led by the Greater Hartford Convention and Visitors Bureau and the XL Center, worked hard to welcome fans from all 16 Big East teams to Hartford. Attendance was up for the event by more than 10%.

The Hartford BID participated as a member of the committee and, among other responsibilities, staffed the information tent all five days of the tournament. Our Security Ambassadors fielded questions, offered restaurant recommendations and provided Downtown information to more than 1,550 visitors throughout the run of the tournament.
