Why Choose Philadelphia?

What makes a Philadelphia the Complete Package? Plenty.

Whether it’s our years of experience, state–of–the–art facilities, multicultural heritage and culture, or bustling nightlife, Philadelphia is prepared to make your meeting or convention a success from start to finish.

Philadelphia has been recognized as a top multicultural destination by the U.S. Department of Commerce and has amassed numerous accolades from multicultural magazines and organizations.

While Philadelphia’s culture and heritage are what set it apart from other cities, the convenience and ease of meeting here is truly distinct. With one of the most compact convention areas in the nation, Philadelphia has 10,000 hotel rooms all within easy walking distance in our lively Center City. On top of this, the city’s highly efficient network of transportation options can take you anywhere you need to go.

All of this in a city full of amazing surprises and wonderful contrasts. Five–star dining in a town famous for its cheesesteaks and macaroni and cheese. A world–class African–American theatre dance company in a city that annually performs salsa on the parkway. Neighborhoods alive with the vibrancy of new residents hailing from various countries just blocks from some of the oldest buildings in North America.

Philadelphia has hosted a number prestigious conventions and meetings including the NAACP, National Council of La Raza, National Baptist USA Inc., US Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, Organization of Chinese Americans, American Association of Physicians of Indian Origin and the Telugu Association of North America.

With so much diversity — in our people and our services — now, more than ever, Philadelphia is where you're at liberty to meet.
