What’s to love…

Columbus, the 15th largest city in the United States as well as the largest and fastest-growing city in Ohio, is a smart and open community with a dynamic convention package that can fit the needs of almost any group. Located within a one-day drive or one-hour flight from more than half of the U.S. population, and offering an airport with nearly 150 flights daily to 36 nonstop destinations that is just 10 minutes from downtown, Columbus is easily accessible for all.

Upon arrival, groups will love exploring a place that is fast becoming known as one of the nation’s most creative, forward-thinking and exciting cities. Celebrated for its incredible arts, entertainment, fashion and culinary offerings; exciting collegiate and professional sports teams and events; and spectacular riverfront with a sprawling ribbon of parkland on the Scioto Mile through downtown, this city on the move has something for everyone.

At the heart of Columbus’ burgeoning downtown, lively urban entertainment districts and diverse array of welcoming neighborhoods sit, but all of Columbus’ unique neighborhoods and one-of-a-kind entertainment offerings are available on foot or via a free ride on the CBUS circulator or all-electric Hopper Carts. Alternative transportation services such as Uber, Lyft, CoGo (bike-sharing), FreeRide and Car2Go offer additional options to explore beyond the city limits.
