Grand Rapids: A Destination Crafted for Meetings
Easy to get to, easy to host an event in and easy to love, Grand Rapids is a city that is truly Crafted for Meetings.
The Gerald R. Ford International Airport, named best airport in North America serving 2-5 million passengers, offers 140+ daily flights, including nonstop flights to 35+ major market destinations on 8 airlines: Allegiant, American, Avelo, Delta, Frontier, Southwest, Sun Country and United. The airport is in the midst of a massive $600 million transformation project that has already upgraded many visitor convenience features – including new food and beverage options, complimentary business centers and improved security checkpoints.
The airport is just 16 minutes from downtown Grand Rapids, where a riverfront convention center offers 162,000 sq. ft. of column-free exhibit space, a 40,000 square foot ballroom and 20+ meeting rooms of all sizes. A climate-controlled skywalk connects the convention center to three hotels (1,200+ rooms), each with its own meeting room spaces, as well as to parking ramps and entertainment venues.
This convention-and-hotel complex anchors a Convention Neighborhood that encompasses 10 additional hotels (1,300+ rooms), including Hilton, Holiday Inn, Hyatt and Marriott brands. They’re all within a 10-minute walk or free bus ride of 200+ restaurants and retail shops. Five downtown museums include the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum, a tribute to the city’s most famous native son, and eight downtown breweries bolster the city's status as America's Craft Beverage Capital.
Museums and breweries are unique offsite venues for opening/closing receptions and VIP events within walking distance of the convention center. Additional options include downtown arenas, auditoriums, performance venues, universities and bridges over the Grand River.
Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park, voted the Best Sculpture Park in the United States in the USA TODAY 10Best Readers' Choice Awards, is just a 15-minute drive from the Convention Neighborhood. It's also a great choice for offsite events.
Hundreds more hotels and meeting spaces throughout Kent County give you additional planning flexibility.
Contact us to learn how this Stella Award-winning Best Midwest DMO (2024) in one of the nation's top 25 convention cities (Travmar, 2022) can help you with your meeting. Your attendees will thank you for planning your event in One of America’s Top 10 Best Towns to Visit (CNN,2024) and the #1 U.S. City on the Rise (LinkedIn, 2025).

Founded in 1845, the Grand Rapids Public Museum is among the oldest history museums in the United States.

Permanent collections include:
Anishinabek: The People of This Place, exploring Native American contributions to West Michigan.
Collecting A-Z, presenting just some of the million or so objects the Museum has collected.
Furniture City, a history of the city's furniture manufacturing excellence.
Habitats, which transports visitors through the natural environments of Michigan.
Newcomers: The People of This Place, celebrating immigrant groups who helped make Grand Rapids what it is today.
Streets of Old Grand Rapids, a detailed recreation of an 1890s street scene.

Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum

Gerald Ford, the 38th President of the United States wasn't born in Grand Rapids - but he was raised here and represented the city in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1949-1973. Richard Nixon selected him to replace Spiro Agnew as Vice President in 1973, and Ford assumed the Presidency less than a year later in the wake of Nixon's resignation.
All of this and more is brought to engaging life at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum in downtown Grand Rapids.
Permanent exhibits include a full-scale replica of the Oval Office, a Watergate gallery, interactive Cabinet Room, 1976 Bicentennial display, and a section of the Berlin Wall. Additional exhibits pay tribute to the life and influence of Betty Ford, who is credited with paving the way for modern First Ladies.

Grand Rapids Art Museum

The Art Museum's history extends back to 1910, but its current facility was erected in 2007. Newsweek magazine promptly named it one of the best buildings of the year: "This cool and modernist building ... is the first newly constructed ‘green' museum in the United States, designed to be LEED certified."
Situated on the edge of Rosa Parks Circle - downtown's community square - GRAM has become one of the city's iconic architectural landmarks. The works on display inside the building are just as impressive. Collections range from Renaissance to Modern Art, with a special focus on 19th and 20th century European and American art.

Grand Rapids African American Museum & Archives
박물관

The Grand Rapids African American Museum & Archives promotes, preserves, displays, collects and honors the lives, culture, history and art of local African Americans. In African culture, griots kept the history and traditions of family, tribes and nations alive through the stories they told. Griots were typically male, but when Africans were brought to the Americans, women became the transmitters of oral history. Today, it’s often the grandmother that fulfills this role – hence, the Museum’s acronym: GRAAMA.

The Grand Rapids Children's Museum celebrates childhood and the joy of learning by providing hands-on exhibits that inspire learning and encourage self-directed exploration.
The Children's Museum is located in downtown Grand Rapids, just a short walk from hotels. The 1916-era building is hard to miss: large expanses of plate glass give passersby a view of the fun inside and one exterior wall is covered with a large mosaic that was originally installed for ArtPrize 2009.
