As we begin the jump into 2018, before we start thinking about
recommending meeting destinations, we’ve taken some time to look back at our past year and the numbers to the industry in its
entirety. As in years past, we’ve noticed cities like Orlando and Las Vegas
remain on top due to their year-round favorable weather, large convention
centers, and cost effectiveness. Destinations like Chicago, Washington D.C.,
and New York are forever popular, despite higher costs, due to the attraction
of the city itself as well as the accommodations they provide.
Below you will see CVENT’s Top 10 U.S. Meeting Destinations for
2017. We've managed meetings in 9 of the top 10 locations in the last year and personally love placing meetings in Dallas due to the cost
effectiveness and ease of air travel as well as San Diego due to the large number of unique properties and great year-round weather (though we may be biased given that it’s
our home). One of our recommended destinations that didn’t
crack the CVENT top 10 is Denver, CO. With its central location, large number
of upscale hotels, vibrant downtown, and over 300 sunny days a year; Denver is
definitely worth considering for a sure-fire meeting.
