There are a few decent hotels there, but mostly not. If you're outdoorsy, the Lake of the Ozarks is close by. And it is in a beautiful part of the country, once you get off the strip. If you HAVE to attend this convention, you'll at least have work stuff to focus on and networking to do. And if you're very religious there are a couple shows that will probably appeal to you.
I would pass up a free trip in first class to not go to Branson again, but that's me.

THANK you. I'd say the same thing. My inlaws love Branson, but I'm not sure if I'd go again. Then again, trough-style buffets and motels with the doors on the outside (I am petrified of staying in these) aren't my "thing". I'll never forget this show name up in lights - it was called "Jennifer!" and I never found out who Jennifer! was.
Silver Dollar City is okay if you have kids, or like dressing up in "old timey fashion" and taking sepia-toned photos.
Now, Eureka Springs is cute. I like the shops, the history.
