Value for money, access to airports (multiple), independent industry organizations across multiple industries, private lobby organizations, larger concentration of press/media organizations, access to speakers from these organizations, serious business engagement, and the Energy Industry are all excellent in The Woodlands, Conroe, and the Greater Houston Metro area. Combined with the economies of scale for large events (there are multiple large event venues in the area which compete with one another for business), a myriad of hotel chains at every possible price point, two airports, and even an Amtrak station, this location returns value for dollars.

The lower travel costs for this location leave more money in the pockets of attendees, money they are then able to donate to candidates and parties.
