Pennsylvania

Meeting and event planners have much to look forward to when creating a program in the state that’s home to the birthplace of the nation. History permeates throughout the attendee experience in Philadelphia, but that’s not all the city has to offer. A modern convention campus, hotels and walkable experiences from these home bases to bars and restaurants add to the city’s allure, so much so that it has attracted major events like PCMA Convening Leaders, FIFA World Cup and WrestleMania.

Over in Pittsburgh, the David L. Lawrence Convention Center and world-class hotels offer an abundance of options for meetings and events as well. And don’t overlook the Pocono Mountains in northeast Pennsylvania for group retreats or the heritage and amenities available in other Pennsylvania locations like Lancaster, Harrisburg and Hershey.
