What should the Austin hospitality and bar crew brief cover at Palmer Events Center, Barton Springs Road?
With the Austin Convention Center closed during its rebuild, reception and meeting work can shift to Palmer Events Center and other venues instead of the former downtown address. Confirm the booked property before setting worker travel or service assumptions.

What goes on the Austin call sheet?
For Palmer, account for limited onsite parking and issue the active entrance, delivery route, room, stations, attire, alcohol limits, required credentials, supplies, tip policy, breaks, and reset window. Do not reuse a Convention Center call sheet; the temporary venue pattern needs its own access and closing contact.
