Baltimore may be the easiest city in America in which to hold your meeting. It's easy to get to and easy to get around. With one-third of the U.S. population within easy traveling distance, you have a large market from which to draw your attendees.

And once they are here, they'll discover that our first-class hotels, fabulous restaurants, cultural attractions, historic neighborhoods, nightlife and sports venues are all "just two feet away" from the Baltimore Convention Center and the famed Inner Harbor.

The Baltimore Convention Center is in the heart of Baltimore's vibrant downtown. Linked by overhead walkways to Inner Harbor hotels and restaurants, the Center boasts more than 1.2 million square feet of space, including 300,000 square feet of contiguous exhibit space.

There are more than 8,500 hotel rooms (5,500 committable) within walking distance of the Center, featuring all of the brands you know — Hilton, Hyatt, Kimpton, Marriott, Starwood, Radisson, IHG, plus a number of first-class independents. The variety of properties makes Baltimore a great place for in-house meetings, too.

There's plenty to do in the off-hours. From world-class museums and attractions to fine dining and the Baltimore tradition — the crab feast, Baltimore offers something to discover at every turn. And, to add that "final touch" to your planning, Baltimore's museums and attractions offer exceptional spaces for events, and many restaurants feature private dining.

Our compact, convenient "convention community" and exceptional customer service make Baltimore a top destination for conventions and meetings. For information, call 800.343.3468 or visit www.baltimore.org.
