Billing itself as the “premier meeting destination of the Southwest,” the Phoenix Convention Center is in the throes of a $600 billion renovation and expansion project. When the construction is complete (scheduled for December 2008), the facility in downtown Phoenix will have more than 900,000 square feet of meeting and exhibition space.
Traditionally, the Phoenix Convention Center has hosted 275 meetings with 900,000 guests annually. It’s no wonder the Greater Phoenix area is so attractive to trade-show planners, given the region’s glorious desert climate, golf courses, trendy shopping, cultural attractions and plethora of spas.
If you’re planning on attending a meeting or expo in Phoenix in 2009, think about a week-long timeshare resort vacation in conjunction with a business- or hobby-related trip. After all, with all the aforementioned things to see and do in Phoenix, it would be a shame to visit this area of Arizona without taking the time to enjoy some of the local sights and activities.
Here are a handful of events scheduled to take place at the Phoenix Convention Center in 2009:
