"As someone who uses numerous meeting facilities across the state each year, I can honestly say that none of them rank on the same level as the Carroll Knicely Conference Center. Being one of their very first users, I have literally held hundreds of meetings there. It’s not just because of the location and facilities of the Center but equally important to me is the outstanding support staff that leaves nothing undone to make every meeting a success.flower arrangement They are the very best I have encountered and I wouldn’t think of having a meeting in Bowling Green anywhere except at the Carroll Knicely Conference Center."
