The Attendee Experience

Meeting Planners know that a successful conference needs more than educational seminars and good food at the banquets.  Grand Rapids is a community that welcomes its visitors and provides a fresh, comfortable, and affordable destination for daytime activities and nightlife. 

The Convention Service Team knows how to maximize the attendee experience for your conference, including:

• The Events Calendar that lets you know what's happening in the Grand Rapids area during your visit.
• Restaurants are notified of your conference information so their staff will be prepared for your visit
• Special airport welcome that includes welcome signage and a knowledgeable staff at our Airport Information Desk
• Grand Rapids information tables set up near conference registration sites, with local volunteers to provide helpful information and directions
• Welcome Signs in the windows of local businesses and restaurants
• Conference Signage Instructions for maximizing signage use at your conference
• Maps to help your attendees navigate the city. This also includes Skywalk Maps - a great option for walking through the city.
• Conference Program Enhancements let you choose just the right information to include in your conference program, including pharmacy listings and distances to popular attractions.
