CTmeetings: Connecticut’s COVID-19 Resources
As of May 19, 2021, all of the business sector rules that were previously enacted to prevent the spread of COVID-19 have been lifted, except for the updated mask requirements. These changes are contingent upon a low incidence of COVID-19 and the Connecticut population continuing to get vaccinated.
As Connecticut's meetings and hospitality industries continues to reopen, the Connecticut Convention & Sports Bureau (CTmeetings) - Connecticut's statewide Destination Marketing Organization - will show you the way to state-of-the-art meeting facilities and sports venues, along with first-rate accommodations and unparalleled service at competitive prices.
Our state's impressive inventory of venues accommodate groups of all types and sizes, comply with the newest protocols for safety and cleanliness, and are easily accessible via the Northeast's interstates, air, bus and rail lines.
Our company worked together with state departments and local municipalities, as well as the Connecticut Lodging Association, the Connecticut Restaurant Association, the Connecticut Event Industry Coalition, hotels, venues, restaurants and other industry partners in preparation for welcoming back groups, events, meetings and conventions of all types.
