Elite Overview
From the editors of Elite Meetings
An IACC-certified, AAA Four Diamond and Pinnacle award–winning hotel in the vibrant downtown area of Austin, the AT&T Executive Education and Conference Center features 40,000 square feet of state-of-the-art meeting space, 297 deluxe guest rooms and suites, and an engaging atmosphere for meeting and socializing with colleagues.
The 37 conference rooms range from a flexible 1,100-seat ballroom to a 300-seat multimedia theater, breakout rooms, and tiered and traditional meeting rooms. The Center offers the latest technology to enrich communications and learning throughout. Complimentary wireless Internet access—considered a right, not a privilege—is located throughout the property, from the meeting rooms to the lobbies, restaurants, accommodations, courtyard, and pool deck.
The center has welcomed groups from across the globe with its world-class standard of hospitality, while simultaneously imparting a sense of place and practicing sustainability. Much of the LEED Gold–certified hotel’s furniture and woodwork was crafted from pecan trees removed during construction, and native plants, including live oaks, make up 75 percent of the landscaping. Art from the University of Texas’s School of Fine Art and photography from historical archives line the hallways. The restaurants—The Carillon (named for the UT Tower bells), Gabriel’s, and Café 125—further honor the university’s heritage while offering attendees delicious cuisine prepared with seasonal ingredients.
Planner Reviews
From our planner community
They did a spectacular job of keeping up with us. Everyone was easy to work with and the food constantly got high marks.
Corporate Planner
We host our biggest event of the year at the AT&T Center, and as we've grown, they have done a spectacular job of keeping up with us. Everyone there is easy to work with – from pre-planning to fulfilling the on-site needs of our guests. The food constantly gets high marks from our attendees – the menu is elegant but simple, there's something for everyone, and you simply cannot compare it to any other conference venue or hotel's food. It's also great to be on The University campus and our guests love being right in the middle of Austin when they come to our annual event.
Meeting Planner
We have used the AT & T Center several times to host our Leadership Conferences, and of course the facilities are top-notch. What really makes this location stand out is the staff—these are people who almost never say no, and are absolutely unflappable when it comes to last-minute changes and/or problems. And the food quality is way above what one would normally expect at a Conference hotel. 4 enthusiastic thumbs up from us!

AT&T Executive Education and Conference Center Expands Conference Space
Posted May 18, 2015
New Rowling Hall Features 25,500-Square-Feet of Conference Facilities
The AT&T Executive Education and Conference Center today announced it will expand its conference space with a 15,000-square-foot ballroom complimented by 5,000 square feet of pre-function space and a 5,500-square-foot banquet kitchen in the newly approved Robert B. Rowling Hall.
Rowling Hall will be a 458,000-square-foot building located across the street from the AT&T Executive Education and Conference Center. The new facilities will be accessible to the current building by an underground connection. Similar to the AT&T Executive Education and Conference Center, Rowling Hall will be built with a focus on sustainability.
“This expansion will provide more meeting space for our customers and the opportunity to book bigger groups who want personalized service,” said Keith Purcell, Director of Sales and Marketing at the AT&T Executive Education and Conference Center. “Our role in fostering education and impacting business is important to us, and we are very excited about our expansion and continued partnership with The University of Texas.”
Rowling Hall, approved by The University of Texas Board of Regents on May 15, 2014, will also house the Red McCombs School of Business Texas MBA and Texas MSTC programs and the Texas Executive Education programs. It was designed by Ennead Architects and Jacobs Engineering, and DPR will manage the construction. Rowling Hall is projected to break ground in December 2014 and projected to open in early 2017. The AT&T Executive Education and Conference Center has begun booking meetings and events for the new space.
“The addition of the new 15,000-square-foot-ballroom will solidify the AT&T Executive Education and Conference Center’s position as the hotel of choice for travelers and conference attendees in the City of Austin,” said Thomas Gilligan, dean of the McCombs School of Business.
