Discover Why Phoenix Has Emerged as a Premier Meetings Destination

In recent years, Greater Phoenix has made significant investments in its downtown corridor and improved transportation infrastructure to keep pace with the evolving demands of the massive events it routinely hosts.

The City of Phoenix has invested more than $1.2 billion over a three-year period on Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport renovations and improvements, including a new eight-gate concourse for Southwest Airlines, modern updates to Terminal 3 and a 2.5-mile PHX Sky Train extension to the rental car center. Additionally, The Wall Street Journal recently ranked the airport as the best in the country.

Arriving in downtown Phoenix, you’ll discover a thriving, walkable corridor flush with luxury hotels, retail space and stellar cuisine. Nearly $5 billion in investments have transformed the city into a cultural hub and the envy of many of the country’s larger metropolitan regions.

More than 200 restaurants and bars in downtown Phoenix beckon event-goers to explore the culinary marvels of the city. Award-winning tastemakers fuse inspiration from the Sonoran Desert with expert techniques to deliver sublime flavors. And the Roosevelt Row arts district and its larger-than-life murals provide a picture-perfect introduction to the local culture before giving way to shops and boutiques featuring creations of local makers.

With more than 300 days of sunshine annually and an average temperature of 72 degrees, Greater Phoenix is perfect for adding outdoor adventure to your event. Located in the heart of the Sonoran Desert, visitors marvel at the towering saguaro cactuses and breathtaking mountain ranges that provide an endless source of recreation opportunities.
