140 S. BROAD STREET: On Nov. 2–3, the Phil- adelphia Convention & Visitors Bureau hosted Convene for a customized press trip — conducted al- most entirely on foot in eminently walk- able Center City. Our first stop: the Union League of Philadel- phia, whose 250,000- square-foot, French Renaissance–style building dates to 1865 and offers a va- riety of handsomely decorated meeting spaces. The 84-room Inn at the League was our host hotel.
