About

Cincinnati is redefining the meetings experience with more than $2 billion in recent development and a bold $800 million transformation of its Downtown Convention District. At the center is the newly reimagined First Financial Convention Center, now open with 750,000 square feet of modernized space, advanced technology, and a two-acre Elm Street Plaza designed for seamless indoor and outdoor activations. A new headquarters hotel will further anchor the district (planned to opening in 2028), joining more than 3,000 hotel rooms, 200-plus restaurants, and a vibrant mix of entertainment, all within a compact, walkable footprint. For planners seeking additional flexibility, the Sharonville Convention Center in Cincinnati North offers a convenient, cost-effective alternative just 15 minutes from downtown. Recently expanded, the venue features 65,000 square feet of flexible meeting space and a 40,000 square foot exhibit hall, surrounded by more than 3,000 nearby hotel rooms. Cincinnati’s accessibility adds to its appeal. Located within 500 miles of 60 percent of the U.S. population and served by a growing number of domestic and international flights through CVG Airport, the region is easy to reach and easy to navigate. Once here, attendees can explore the city via the free Connector streetcar, linking downtown’s key districts, including The Banks and Over-the-Rhine. In Cincinnati, culture reigns. A dynamic blend of art, food, music, and unexpected experiences creates a destination where meetings extend beyond the agenda and into something more memorable.
