VENDOR SPOTLIGHT – Cincinnati USA

Re-energize your event in Cincinnati USA

In Cincinnati USA, attendees are invited to roll up their sleeves and discover all that’s within reach, both during their meetings and throughout the city. Every organization, convention and event is empowered to meet and exceed their objectives because Cincinnati facilitates a setting where that – and more – is possible.

The key to successful meetings in Cincinnati is to experience the contagious energy pulsing throughout the city. A region fueled by dreamers, doers, innovators and makers, Cincinnati inspires attendees to achieve more. Through customizable events, easy, original programming and after-hours options for every personality, Cincinnati delivers an unforgettable meeting experience.

Made to Order Meetings

No meeting is the same in the Queen City, and the Cincinnati USA Convention & Visitors Bureau’s quality of service makes all the difference. In Cincinnati, the area’s commitment to hospitality and its compact size allow conferences and conventions to make an impact and “own the city.”

With help from the Cincinnati USA CVB, meeting planners can easily customize their group’s experience, whether they need a unique meeting space, innovative programming or assistance with logistical planning. From bringing in local food trucks to working with the local police, the Cincinnati USA CVB partners with planners to turn their vision into a reality.

Fresh Options for Meeting Planners

Easy and affordable opportunities, like salsa dancing sessions on Fountain Square (in the heart of downtown Cincinnati) or live bands every day throughout the city, take the weight off of meeting planners to bring all of the programming together themselves.

Looking to incorporate physical activity into your event? Schedule time at Washington Park, located in Cincinnati’s historic Over-the-Rhine neighborhood, to participate in free fitness classes offered weekly. Need a jolt of creativity? Take in Cincinnati’s arts and cultural heritage on a quick walk between the hotel and convention center, thanks to the ArtWorks mural program, which has more than 100 murals painted on the sides of buildings around the region.

Create a unique, social experience that provides more engagement with your attendees and draws them into the city by partnering with local events. Past planners have actually chosen their Cincinnati meeting date around major annual festivals, like Oktoberfest Zinzinnati or the Cincinnati Music Festival, to help build attendance and excitement for their event.

After-Hours That Excite

When the day’s meetings conclude, Cincinnati’s compact convention footprint, recently made even more accessible by the new Cincinnati Bell Connector streetcar, allows attendees to explore the city and enjoy the cultural renaissance that is transforming the city. With 3,500 hotel rooms and more than 220 restaurants, 50 bars and 300 shops within minutes of the convention district, Cincinnati provides big city experiences and amenities without the hassle that comes with big city meetings.

Cincinnati USA is a true original, from its outstanding arts, culture and culinary scenes, to its ever-expanding menu of shopping, hotels and restaurants, to the resurgence of its urban core. The stories behind it all, though, are Cincinnati’s real treasures. Cincinnati embraces its unique, historic past and incorporates it as the city continues to grow and evolve. Rather than tearing things down and building from the ground up, Cincinnati restores old buildings, cherishes its history and expands upon it.

In just the last few years alone, Cincinnati has experienced a major renaissance, with revitalized neighborhoods, like Over-the-Rhine, an influx of top-ranked restaurants and breweries, and world-class entertainment and attractions. Whether it’s touring pre-Prohibition lager tunnels that reflect the city’s brewing heritage, catching the MLB’s oldest team – the Cincinnati Reds – in action, or being moved by a concert at the famed Music Hall, the Queen City connects attendees to endless possibilities.
