Make waves. Create change. In Minneapolis.
In Minneapolis, you can see it, hear it, taste it, and experience it — waves of change are all around.
Minneapolis has a long history of being a city of Wave Makers and Change Creators. A city of diverse opinions, cultures, styles, and inspirations that are constantly surprising - and exceeding expectations. Just like waves, we know that no two events or meetings are alike. We welcome those who have a passion for embracing and creating change to join us and discover why Minneapolis is ready to be your next meeting destination.
