Salt Lake Convention & Visitors Bureau

"From my experience, it really doesn't get any nicer or more convenient than Salt Lake. The city is vibrant, has a safe downtown and the mountains, with outdoor recreation opportunities, is so close. Getting to the city and around the city (key for my group) is really easy, whether walking or riding the light rail system. There is plenty of shopping and in-city activities...a great city feel without the extreme hustle and bustle you get in some other major cities. The fact that you can be in the mountains in mere minutes from getting into your car is pretty awesome!"

"Salt Lake's convention services team deserves every award they've won—they are on top of everything throughout the entire meeting process. Not only are they incredibly helpful with all the logistical issues of producing a great event, they're truly focused on increasing meeting attendance and have great attendance promotion programs ready to implement."

"The quantity and quality of the arts and entertainment Salt Lake offers has always surprised me. We found that whatever your tastes, you're sure to find it - a wide range of music and concerts, excellent live theater performances, cool and casual clubs, or professional sports."

"I can't say enough good things about the Salt Palace Convention Center, its staff and the service. The Salt Palace is warm, welcoming, clean and you can tell it was designed with the meeting planning professional in mind... providing attractive and functional meeting and exhibit space. It's also in a great location - the center of the city and all the action - convenient to downtown hotels, restaurants, entertainment and shopping."

"When it comes to hotel accommodations, Salt Lake offers everything a meeting planner could ask for. The convention package is compact, all within blocks of the convention center and offers a variety from five-diamond to budget-conscious properties, which really helps to accommodate all attendees. And having so many rooms within an easy walk of the convention center makes typical transportation hassles a non-issue. It was also a pleasure to experience how well all the property personnel worked together on behalf of the city and not solely for themselves."
