“The app gives visitors to Cincinnati, and the center, a great resource for everything our city has to offer,” said Ric Booth, general manager, Duke Energy Convention Center. “We wanted to make visitors aware of the endless opportunities, and make it easily assessable. The app does exactly that and much more.”
