Thank you to our Sponsor: Meet Minneapolis

Your investment has impact. Minnesota needs a strong and healthy Minneapolis. The meetings and events industry is critical to the health of the city and a vibrant downtown is critical to the health of the state. With travel and tourism affected like never before, we are calling out to the organizations in Minneapolis and beyond to help recover and keep much needed revenue within the state and Minneapolis community.

Here are the Top 8 Reasons Why you Should Keep Your Meeting in Minneapolis.

1. A Community Leading the Path Forward
As the catalyst city for a nationwide movement in 2020, Meet Minneapolis stands in solidarity with our leaders from all backgrounds in recognizing the need to transform our city from the inside out—to ensure Minneapolis is both a safe and equitable place for everyone to live, work and visit.

2. Delta Air Lines Hub, Compact City – Easy to Explore
MSP Airport is a Delta Air Lines hub, located within a 3-hour flight from almost everywhere in the U.S. and the light rail connects attendees straight to our compact, walkable downtown with dozens of entertainment options. Our skyways — enclosed, second-level walkways connecting buildings in 80 blocks — keep people comfortable and dry, year-round.

3. Award Winning Minneapolis Convention Center
With 1.2 million feet of meeting space, our award-winning convention center is leading the way with health and safety. The MCC Client Event Health & Safety Plan and GBAC STAR Accreditation demonstrates that priority with a growing list of successfully hosted, safe events.

4. 9,000 Rooms Downtown – All Brands, All Budgets
Minneapolis has all the hotel brands to fit all budgets. Plus, with more than 4,500 rooms conveniently connected to the Minneapolis Convention Center via Skyway, attendees are always a quick indoor walk from the day’s meetings and events.

5. Unique Meetings and Event Venues
Historic, modern, on the water, or on a rooftop with breathtaking views – big events or small – Minneapolis has just the unique venue to ensure your attendees will have a “most talked about event” experience with the Instagram photos to prove it.

6. Great Bites, Brews & Fun for Everyone
Bring an appetite and an extra bag as to explore Minneapolis’ unique restaurants, shops and attractions.

7. City by Nature: Top Parks, 22 Lakes and the Mighty Mississippi
A concrete jungle we are not. In the city with a top ranked park system in the nation, our Chain of Lakes, the mighty Mississippi River, two waterfalls, and more than 200 miles of biking and hiking trails just steps from the urban action, we can guarantee you’ll have endless options to enjoy a day of outdoor adventure regardless of the season.
