Phoenix Downtown provides excellent accommodation, dining and entertainment options for our Conference.

Phoenix Convention Center

When visiting Greater Phoenix, you'll find plenty of things to see and do. More than 300 days of annual sunshine mean you can count on exceptional weather (generally 85 degrees during the day, 65 degrees during the evening) as you experience the rich diversity of our Sonoran Desert playground.

With year-round choices, exciting recreation and adventure activities abound. Experience a wide range of tours and sightseeing excursions, whether by Jeep or hot-air balloon, on horseback, or even by boat. Of course, golf is one of the most popular outdoor activities, as Greater Phoenix provides more than 200 pristine courses.

With a full range of restaurants, wineries and wine bars, and thanks to several major projects and developments in Downtown Phoenix – Copper Square, the area is brimming with energy and excitement. Arts and performances flourish throughout the metro area, and in terms of sporting events, Phoenix is a sport's lover's dream. Passionate shoppers will find a cornucopia of fabulous malls, unique boutiques and antique shops in which to indulge.

Phoenix, which covers 514 square miles, is the fifth-largest city in the country with a population of more than 1.42 million people.
