Your Connections: PCVB Congresses

Specialized Services to Maximize Your Philadelphia Meeting

The Philadelphia Convention & Visitors Bureau's congresses have the expertise, the networks and the experience to help you increase your show attendance and grow sponsorship opportunities. Each works seamlessly with the PCVB and PCC staffs to provide access to industry experts and speakers, and connect conventions with off-site networks, venues and regional attendees.

Greater Philadelphia Life Sciences Congress (GPLSC)

This congress brings together multiple prongs of Greater Philadelphia's life sciences industries: medicine, health care, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, higher education, research and business. Life sciences leaders also provide access to industry experts and speakers, and connect conventions with off-site networks, medical venues and area attractions.

Multicultural Affairs Congress (MAC)

The first of its kind in the nation, MAC promotes the city as an ethnically diverse destination and encourages multicultural business and social responsibility. Philadelphia is proud to represent many multicultural communities, and their diverse influence can be seen throughout the city.

MAC connects meeting and convention planners with the region's multicultural community, resources and suppliers. We're the primary contact for outreach to media, political, civic and business communities.

MAC provides all of the multicultural promotional materials you'll need to get the word out about Philadelphia and assist with outreach to speakers, multicultural programming ideas and local host committee development.

Philadelphia Sports Congress (PSC)

One of the first sports commissions in the country, PSC assists sporting event and meeting planners with services from site visits and hotel and venue selection, to event marketing, consulting and staffing. We make the red tape disappear so your staff can get permits, secure street closures and coordinate vendors.

When it comes to planning sporting events, Philadelphia brings it: expertise, facilities, accessibility and more than a few places for post-game celebrations.
