ONTARIO, Calif., March 28, 2006 – The Ontario Convention Center is tuning in a new communication strategy to keep its current clients in the know. A deal inked with Hotel Guest Network allows Ontario Convention Center to launch and broadcast an event information channel called, "Convention Guest Network."

"We're one of the most technologically advanced facilities in the nation and offering the Convention Guest Network is an added value to our clients," says Bob Brown, executive director and general manager of OCVB.
