Why Choose Our Destination?

Looking for a California destination that checks every box? Welcome to Sacramento – California’s capital city and the perfect destination for meeting planners seeking a blend of accessibility, affordability, and authentic West Coast charm. Here, you’ll find a state-of-the-art convention center, diverse and comfortable hotel options, excellent weather, walkable tree-lined streets, and an abundance of award-winning food and wine. Plus, the city is as approachable as your own backyard and much more affordable than its neighbors to the north or south. Sacramento is a city that knows how to host at any scale. As the proud home of major events like Aftershock, the West Coast’s largest hard rock festival, Terra Madre Americas, and IRONMAN California, California’s Capital City delivers dynamic experiences while still feeling authentic, approachable, and effortlessly cool. At the heart of it all is Sacramento’s SAFE Credit Union Convention Center, offering 240,000 square feet of meeting and event space, along with an outdoor activities plaza and outdoor second-floor terrace to take full advantage of Sacramento’s ideal climate. You’ll find more than 2,000 hotel rooms within walking distance of the convention center, and 2,000 more within just 3 miles. Beyond the convention center, Sacramento has a host of additional meeting spaces ranging from Memorial Auditorium to a historic downtown theater and newly renovated convention hotels. And when the work is done, guests can enjoy receptions at Michelin-starred eateries, inside majestic museums, or under the stars at picturesque wineries just outside of the city. If you’re ready to escape the ordinary, Sacramento is ready to welcome you.
