Assembly at the Logan Hotel looking over the Ben Franklin Parkway
Having successfully hosted the 2016 Democratic National Convention, and Pope Francis and the World Meeting of Families Congress in 2015, it’s safe to say that Philadelphia is one of the most sought-after meeting destinations in the world.
Starting with the Pennsylvania Convention Center, central to the city’s most exciting attractions, Philadelphia offers a first-rate, SMG-managed facility with one million square-feet of saleable space, the ability to host two major tradeshows simultaneously, the largest ballroom in the Northeast and 82 meeting rooms.
What’s more, the Philadelphia Convention and Visitors Bureau (PHLCVB) offers planning assistance with three business development divisions (life sciences, sports and multicultural) offering services like customized microsites, targeted e-marketing campaigns, delegate discounts and more.
58 November December 2016
For attendees, the city has more than 10,000 hotel rooms within a 15-minute walk of the convention center, and its eclectic and impressive dining scene has gar- nered global attention from Iron Chefs, Top Chefs, and James Beard award-winners. Explore the Reading Terminal Market, a gastro-hub attached to the conven- tion center with dozens of local merchants, or enjoy inti- mate, chef-driven BYOB (bring your own bottle) restau- rants featuring innovative cuisine, as well as many restaurants that offer private dining rooms.
A short stroll from the Convention Center is Museum Mile, home to the Philadelphia Museum of Art and its world-renowned collection, the Barnes Foundation, with the largest private collection of impressionist, post- impressionist works and early modern art, as well as the Franklin Institute Science Museum and its hands-on per- manent exhibit dedicated to the workings of the brain.
