Philadelphia: Come for the Convention, Stay for the Unconventional

April 1, 2025

Host your next event in Philadelphia, where excitement and convenience meet.

While attendees come to Philadelphia for iconic sites like the Liberty Bell and the Rocky Steps, they’ll want to stay to discover the unexpected gems found throughout Philly. From historic attractions that double as special event venues to waterfront views, there are countless moments for attendees to savor in the city.

Ranked by The Wall Street Journal as No. 1 in the country for walkability, the Pennsylvania Convention Center offers event experts a flexible meeting experience in the heart of downtown Philadelphia. Convention attendees will find themselves steps away from top attractions, public art, an award-winning dining scene and over 14,400 hotel rooms, making it easy for them to explore and enjoy all the city has to offer.

The Philadelphia Convention and Visitors Bureau provides planners with three specialized divisions: PHL Life Sciences, PHL Diversity and PHL Sports. These resources connect event organizers with local leaders and industry experts to enhance the success of your next meeting or convention. From the initial outreach to the closing session, Philadelphia’s team of destination experts provide support to ensure your event leaves a lasting impression.

With the support of the Philadelphia Convention and Visitors Bureau along with the vibrancy of the city itself, you’re set to host a memorable event. Start planning your next great gathering in Philadelphia!
