The Conway Convention & Visitors Bureau (CVB) announced plans to sign 30 student athletes from the University of Central Arkansas to “Name, Image, and Likeness” (NIL) agreements. The student athletes will be trained as “ambassadors and brand representatives” touting the Arkansas city’s quality of place and visitor amenities. The agreement between individual athletes and a public entity represents the first of its kind in the country.

The Conway Convention & Visitors Bureau is excited to present the inaugural Conway Black Restaurant Week during the last week of Black History Month. From February 21-27, 2021, the CVB will bring attention to Conway's Black-owned restaurants and introduce you to some of the people behind them.
Several Conway restaurants topped the Arkansas Times' annual list of "Best Restaurants in Arkansas." 2021 marks the 40th anniversary of the publication's Readers Choice restaurant contest.
Restaurants were among the first-hit and most visible economic casualties of the COVID-19 pandemic. This led to an awareness among loyal customers and a desire to help. In March, the Conway Convention and Visitors Bureau launched the #ConwayToGo group on Facebook. Since then, membership has grown to more than 10,000 individuals throughout the region.
