See what some of our clients have to say about Minneapolis.

“From beginning to end, working with Meet Minneapolis and hosting our IECA 2022 Annual Conference & Expo in Minneapolis, Minnesota has been a pleasure. The people from Meet Minneapolis, to the convention center, hotels and local restaurants/activities have exceeded our expectations across the board and provided the partnership needed for a successful conference. As a mid-winter program, our group loved ice fishing and the experience of being in Minneapolis, even when it was cold. The conference center space is well appointed, hotels are updated and everything is conveniently connected by skyway. I would highly recommend Minneapolis as a conference destination!”
-Joanna Fetherolf, CMP, Managing Director, Conferences & Education

“From start to finish Meet Minneapolis and the Minneapolis Convention Center are great allies. Their can-do attitude, willingness to go the extra-mile and great partnership is refreshing. Not only did they make my job easier, but our vendor partners also complimented on how great they are to work with. Our meeting was orchestrated perfectly.”
-Gretchen Bliss, Event Producer, Healthcare Financial Management Association

“The North American Society for Trenchless Technology hosted its 33rd annual No-Dig Show in Minneapolis in April 2022. This was the first time the show was in Minnesota, and we had a wonderful experience. Everything was flawless from the preplanning and execution with Meet Minneapolis and the Minneapolis Convention Center to the outside vendors who assisted us during the event. The facility offered us a very compact footprint including registration, ballroom events, breakout classrooms and the exhibit hall. The skybridges to the hotels were very convenient for our attendees, and they all seemed to enjoy the food and activities the city had to offer after hours. Thank you for helping us make the conference such a success!”
-Michelle Hill, Program Director, North American Society for Trenchless Technology (NASTT)

“The City of Minneapolis is a wonderful partner to host any meeting. Between air lift accessibility, the convention center complex with connecting hotels, and a downtown within arm’s reach of the convention center, Minneapolis has a lot to offer groups and planners. The service at the Minneapolis Convention Center is incredible and makes events run very smoothly. Their team consistently shows the meaning of partnership and makes it an easy decision to book again and again.”
-Colleen Campbell, CMP, DES, Senior Manager, SB Expos & Events

“Minneapolis was a great city to host the AVA Annual Meeting. The convention center was easily accessible for our attendees via the skywalk from the nearby hotels. We enjoyed the food in the local restaurants as well as the food at the convention center. I personally really liked the coffee shop in the convention center; it was a great place for an afternoon iced coffee to get me through the rest of the day.”
-Tonya Hutchison, CAE, COO, Association for Vascular Access

"I wanted to take a moment to thank you for all of your help in planning my corporate group’s visit to the downtown Minneapolis this September. We deal with Convention & Visitors Bureaus all over the country on a weekly basis and we find most of them to be very helpful. I have never experienced anyone in the industry as knowledgeable and as eager to help as you have been. You probably cut my research time in half when I first began to investigate if Minneapolis/Bloomington was a good fit for my group. Your response time was incredible and the detail included in your email about hotels, restaurants, activities was amazing. When planning other domestic groups I will be more inclined to consider Minneapolis/Bloomington simply because you made my job easier."
-Steve Ineson, Travel Consultant

People were friendly, especially the bus drivers, transportation was cheap and reliable, food was readily available and fun, and the city was clean. This has been one of the best trips we've ever taken in the US and hope to visit your wonderful city soon. You are doing a great job!"
-Milly Blumer, Fabric Market Attendee

"We relocated our Grand Slam event to Minneapolis in 2010 after 14 years in another city. The professionals at Meet Minneapolis made the process painless and offered assistance at every turn. After just one year we already know Minneapolis will be a permanent home for our annual event."
