largest, and most technologically advanced convention centers.

“they have such a terrific meetings industry in the city,” says bridget Sypolt,
director of events for mPi. “the convention center and the hotels that feed
into it are all very walkable; you are constantly running into your group, so it
feels very close together. there are plenty of restaurants and bars in that same
small area, so there are plenty of things to walk to in the evening.”

liquor licensing laws and filled new concert venues with big names to

“i’ve worked with the Salt lake convention & visitors bureau for about 10 years, and i’ve always felt
that they have one of the most wonderful bureaus in the whole meeting system. i don’t think we’ve ever
had another bureau that has gone to the extent they have to help us get everything together, make
sure things are going smoothly, work with us and our local people. it’s just been wonderful.”
