The Association of Chief Executives for Sport (ACES), a trade association comprised exclusively of CEOs of the United States national sport governing bodies, including all 47 U.S. Olympic sports, will hold its Annual Meeting in Cincinnati January 8-10, 2017, at the Hilton Cincinnati Netherland Plaza. The successful bid was led by the Greater Cincinnati Sports Corporation in partnership with Cincinnati USA Convention & Visitors Bureau (CVB) and meet NKY/Northern Kentucky Convention & Visitors Bureau.

"On behalf of all our ACES members, sponsors and concierge city members we are delighted to be coming to Cincinnati in 2017," said Stephen D. Ducoff, President/CEO, Association of Chief Executives for Sport (ACES-NGB.com). "This will provide a firsthand opportunity for our ACES family to understand the sports dynamics of the Greater Cincinnati Sports Corporation and surrounding sports community and facilities. GO TEAM USA."
"Cincinnati USA has a long-standing passion for sports, and we are thrilled to share our unique culture and heritage with the ACES leaders" said Dan Lincoln, President and CEO of the Cincinnati USA CVB. "This win is the result of hard work and regional cooperation, and offers an incredible opportunity to showcase our destination as a leading sporting events host."
"The group represents the top decision-makers in amateur athletics," said Eric Summe, President & CEO of meetNKY/Northern Kentucky Convention & Visitors Bureau, "We’re eager to show this prestigious group how Northern Kentucky and Cincinnati can host their next sporting event."
