September 9, 2008 | Please visit Alabama Gulf Coast Meetings

Gustav and other Tropical Occurrences

Gustav caused a bit of gloomy weather over the Labor Day weekend, but otherwise left Alabama's Beautiful Gulf Coast unaffected. However, it does remind us we live, vacation and plan meetings and events in a coastal area and we may have more planning to do in the future for other "Tropical Events". Contacting your accommodations location prior to any meeting or event is the best course of action should something be looming in the Gulf of Mexico, but our website will have up to date information if our crisis page is launched.

There will be a section for "groups, meetings & conventions" where you will find up to date information on any major storm threatening the area or damage any storm may have caused to the area.

More New Meeting Space at the Beach

The Gulf Shores United Methodist Church has recently opened meeting space able to seat up to 750 people theatre style. The church is making this space and the 7 additional break-out rooms available to the public. This meeting space and the various local accommodation options will make a great pair for your upcoming meetings.

Fairfield Inn is coming to Orange Beach. The property is located just across the street from the beach with a boardwalk and direct access to the Gulf. It will have 116 hotel rooms, meeting space able to accommodate up to 100 people, a boardroom for 10 and is opening in December of 2008.
