SportsEvents Media Group, the leading industry publication focused exclusively on helping sports event planners produce excellent competitions in the United States and Canada, has named the Jackson Convention & Visitors Bureau one of its 2012 class of Readers’ Choice Award winners.

Sports event professionals were asked to name the sports commission, convention and visitors bureaus, or sports events venues that they believe display exemplary creativity and professionalism toward the groups they host. Nominations were received from readers throughout the year, and the top picks were selected based on the results from an online system that registered more than 3,000 votes.

The 2012 Readers’ Choice Award recipients represent destinations and sports venues throughout the United States. SportsEvents readers nominated and selected these winners based on their high standard of professionalism and quality service in hosting their events.
