Meeting Locations, Convention Facilities, Conference Sites

From Anchorage to Miami, Mexico to Canada, and as far as Dubai, the expo hall at DMAI's Destinations Showcase provides the ultimate resource for identifying the best meeting destinations from across the U.S. and beyond. Urban or airport, mountain or beachfront, gaming or golfing—you'll find the right fit for your group in just a single, productive day away from the office.

Our exhibiting destination marketing organizations (DMOs), also referred to as convention and visitor bureaus (CVBs) or tourism boards, provide unbiased information—at no cost to planners—to help you find the best deals; learn about meeting facilities, exhibit space, and hotel room availability; identify attractions and unique venues; and do it all in a very efficient manner.
