GRB Launches User-Friendly Mobile Website

Thursday, September 02, 2010

New version assists those with hand-held digital devices

HOUSTON –   The George R. Brown Convention Center recently launched a new mobile website to provide convention and consumer show attendees and organizers with timely information through a new medium.

The mobile version of the GRB’s website, www.houstonconventionctr.com, is intended to assist those using a hand-held digital device to obtain internet access.

“More and more people are using their mobile phones to get all of their information so this is a natural technology progression,” said Luther Villagomez, general manager of the GRB. “Our mobile site is ideal for those who are already inside the convention center and do not have access to a laptop or who are away from their desktop computer.”

Villagomez said the mobile site will provide maps and parking information, event calendars, guest service information, floor plans and contact information. It will also offer links to other Houston destinations.

 


Website Launched to Highlight Houston Hall of Fame

Thursday, August 26, 2010

8.26.10  A new website – www.houstonhalloffame.org – launched today to highlight the Houston Hall of Fame exhibit at the George R. Brown Convention Center (GRB).

 The Houston Hall of Fame exhibit numbers 41 inductees and flanks the entrance of the GRB’s Bush Grand Ballroom. The shrine consists of showcases with a portrait, plaque and a personal artifact from Houstonians who have achieved unmatched excellence in the arts, athletics, business, entertainment, law, medicine and public service. Each inductee was either born in Houston or called Houston home during the time of their greatest achievements.

Former Houston Mayor Kathryn J. Whitmire, the first woman voted into a city office in Houston, is among the class of 2010 inductees. She will be enshrined along with former Houston Astros great Jose Cruz, retired astronaut Dr. Bernard Harris Jr. and Houston Texans owner Robert McNair.

All four were recognized during the annual City of Houston birthday celebration Thursday, August 26 in the GRB ballroom.
