In Minneapolis, you can see it, hear it, taste it and experience it — waves of change are all around. Minneapolis has a long history of being a city of Wave Makers and Change Creators – a city of diverse opinions, cultures, styles, and inspirations that are constantly surprising and exceeding visitors’ expectations.

We are home to one of the most diverse and award winning homegrown culinary scenes in the country – along with our world-class theaters, craft breweries, arts and music festivals, our stadiums, our rooftops, and our miles (and miles) of beautiful walking and biking pathways. And of course, our hometown love of all things Prince.

And just like the waves of the Mississippi River that flows through downtown and our 22 lakes, we know that no two events or meetings are alike. Here, you’ll find the perfect balance of top meeting destination assets located within our beautiful, compact and accessible “City by Nature”.
