Event Planning

The Greater Syracuse Area has everything you need for productive meetings... and after-hours fun!

Trying to find a city that’s easy to get to?

We’re a reasonable drive from every major metropolitan area in the Northeast! Plus, discount and traditional airlines are continually adding flights to Syracuse Hancock International Airport. Or you can travel by train or bus to our Regional Transportation Center, located adjacent to Downtown Syracuse.

Want functional, flexible meeting space, without the hassle of multiple managers?

For starters, the Oncenter Complex is an award-winning convention center composed of three buildings run by one dedicated management team – which means fewer headaches for you. The Empire Expo Center is another superb location, whose 300,000 square feet of meeting space, and 23,000 parking spaces, can fulfill nearly any need.

Searching for service that’s more than lip service?

The Syracuse Convention & Visitors Bureau knows how to take care of our clients. That’s why Successful Meetings Magazine has awarded us the Pinnacle Award for Service for five consecutive years. We’re especially proud of this honor because it is based entirely on our customers’ nominations.

Looking to break out of the breakout rooms?

You and your attendees will find plenty to do and see in our beautiful, relaxing community. Whether it’s our lush parks and golf courses, top-shelf sporting events and entertainment, or shopping, shopping, shopping – your group can mix plenty of pleasure into their business.
