What’s New In Our 3rd Annual Convention City Ranking Report >> Top Meeting Destinations
Air quality is a new ranking factor for 2019, and it helped convention cities like Honolulu, Portland (Oregon) and New Orleans move into the top spots. Air quality also helped other leaders in environmental sustainability like Minneapolis and Rochester in Minnesota and San Diego and San Jose in California. In all, a dozen locations made the top 25 list that did not appear in our convention city ranking report for 2018. The air quality measurements for Las Vegas and Denver, however, hurt their ranking within the top 25 cities report.
