MEET AC had been the name of the sales and marketing force that directly supports the Atlantic City Convention Center.

It was confusing and did not transfer into proper brand awareness, etc.

Effective today, Tuesday, January 17, 2023, that is all set to change.

“MEET AC” is no more.

Welcome to “Visit Atlantic City.”

It’s simple, memorable, and relatable. Whereas “MEET AC” always required an explanation as to who there are and what their name meant. “Visit Atlantic City” is smart and self-evident from the very first glance.
