Client testimonials:
American Meteorological Society, Conference on Mountain Meteorology 2024
“Boise Centre’s staff was very professional and responsive, the building itself is in a perfect location, very clean and in a perfect state. The AV and F & B prices are very affordable, and the options are great. Plus, there are so many restaurants just steps from the convention center. We feel like Boise is one of the best kept secrets in destination/meeting planning.”

“I would tell another organization not to hesitate to hold a convention at Boise Centre. It has been the right size event venue for our group of 950 attendees, the food is wonderful, and the staff are exceptional. Being in Boise’s walkable downtown close to hotels, pubs, coffee shops and the riverwalk has been great.”

Local Attractions
Outdoor Adventure
Recreation
Easy access to nature is one of the best things about Boise, with parks, trailheads, and a beautiful river surrounding downtown. Paved greenbelt paths are ideal for walks and runs pre- and post-event, and for the adventurous attendee there are hundreds of miles of foothill trails to explore. For a unique off-site group excursion, consider Bogus Basin Mountain Recreation Area or a guided white water rafting trip down the Payette River.
The Grove Plaza
Park
Boise Centre surrounds The Grove Plaza, an urban park that marks the center of downtown. Home to Alive After 5, a lively and free summer concert series, The Grove Plaza is also a public venue and available to rent for receptions. Boise Centre's dedicated team manages and maintains The Grove Plaza and is will work with you to secure the space.
Local Breweries
Nightlife
Idaho loves its potatoes (we have our very own interactive Boise Idaho Potato Trail!), but we're also busy being the top producer of barley in the nation and the number two producer of hops - which translates to an exciting craft beer scene. Local breweries, including Payette, Mother Earth, Boise, Barbarian, and Edge, are scattered throughout downtown where attendees will enjoy sipping their next favorite beverage.
Arts and Culture
Museum
Boise's museums, galleries, and festivals are the soul of our city. From contemporary and traditional exhibits at the Boise Art Museum, to impactful performances at the Idaho Shakespeare Festival, these institutions bring Boise to life. By incorporating these cultural gems into your event, attendees will be engaged and inspired.
Golf
Recreation
For meeting planners seeking to incorporate golf into the event, select from a range of courses with stunning views of the Boise Foothills that vary from PGA caliber skill level to a more leisurely 18 holes. With over a dozen courses to consider, it's a quick shuttle from downtown to the first tee.
Basque Block
Historical landmark
Originally hailing from northern Spain, Boise proudly is home to the most concentrated Basque community in the United States. Our historic Basque Block is a living testament to the rich culture, language, and cuisine that has shaped our community since the 1800s. This lively district includes museums, markets, bars, and restaurants, all steeped in the traditions of the Basque people. For your event, the Basque Block transforms into an exclusive block party, where these authentic experiences come to life.
Idaho Wineries
Nightlife
Boise's position at 44 degrees north latitude places it in the same illustrious league as the wine-growing regions of Bordeaux and Tuscany. This unique alignment with the globe's viticultural hotspots ensures that our wines possess an exceptional character and quality. For a taste of Boise's wine offerings without leaving the city, downtown tasting rooms are nestled throughout our vibrant urban core. Sunny Slope, the wine-growing region just outside of Boise, can be experienced after a quick shuttle ride.
Downtown Establishments and Shopping
Business district
The city's downtown is alive with shops, eateries, and entertainment seven days a week. Bars and restaurants line 8th Street, just steps from Boise Centre, and boutiques featuring gifts, clothes, and unique vintage items are scattered throughout the city center. Boise is known for safe and walkable streets, so folks can explore with ease and confidence. Welcoming bars offer craft concoctions, and Michelin rated restaurants feature local products for a memorable evening any day of the week.
