Meeting Venues and Attendee Experience

Philadelphia offers an expanded Pennsylvania Convention Center, 10,000 hotel rooms within walking distance and plenty of off-site venues.

Everything about the Pennsylvania Convention Center (PCC) is distinctive.

It combines historic preservation and architectural innovation with state-of-the-art technology, making it one of the most adaptable, high-tech convention centers in the nation. And, its convenient Center City location means meeting here couldn’t be easier.

Located in the heart of downtown Philadelphia,this is one of the few convention centers designed to be uniquely woven into the city’s landscape. Within a short, safe and scenic walk, visitors have access to literally hundreds of restaurants, shops, cultural institutions, attractions, and other downtown amenities, not to mention 8,500 hotel rooms.

Inside, the Convention Center is strictly 21st Century. The meeting facilities and technology are state-of-the-art. And you’ll find the ambiance and amenities are hotel-like in both scope and quality.

The soaring Grand Hall and Ballroom occupy the historic Reading Terminal train shed. And the Reading Terminal Market on the ground level has been cleverly incorporated into the design, allowing modern-day visitors to shop there, just as they have been doing since 1892.

Philadelphia is known for its history, but that’s far from the only thing your attendees can experience while in town for your Philadelphia convention. Tax-free shopping, diverse dining, tours, attractions and more will keep them occupied before and after your event.
