Today’s best meeting destinations do more than host events—they help planners identify staffing, transportation, and budget solutions, and provide an incredible attendee experience. St. Paul offers a smart choice as a host city: efficient, flexible, welcoming, and memorable.
The city’s main convention center, Saint Paul RiverCentre, is within short walking distance of plentiful hotels and restaurants, allowing attendees to replace time traveling between locations with time spent at the venue, plus avoiding transportation costs. Getting to the city is easy, too, whether attendees are driving from within Minnesota or nearby states, or flying into Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, JD Power’s No. 1 mega airport in North America for the third year in a row and a 20-minute drive from downtown.
Another way to ensure your event stands out is to choose a host city where the attendee experience feels easy and authentic. Visit Saint Paul’s connections with area venues, event service providers, and other businesses allow planners to create seamless experiences with welcoming partners that make visiting attendees feel like they have called the city home for years. They will not only be comfortable, but wowed, too, by St. Paul’s beautiful, historic buildings, including the State Capitol; monumental venues such as Grand Casino Arena, Ordway Center for the Performing Arts, and Science Museum of Minnesota (all just steps away from Saint Paul RiverCentre); and views of the mighty Mississippi River.
St. Paul offers the attributes planners want: operational ease, walkability, authenticity, flexible meeting spaces, and a partner mindset. Visit Saint Paul will not only support you as you plan your best event yet, but also provide incentives to stretch your budget even further!
