Size Matters

 Grand Rapids can host groups of five, 5,000, and anything in between.

Downtown is a popular destination for larger groups, because it offers a one-million-sq. ft. convention center and 1,400 top-flight hotel rooms, all just steps away from a thriving entertainment district. Other area facilities can easily accommodate everything from regional conventions to family reunions.
