Meetings and Conventions

If a central location with affordable venues and accommodations sounds appealing for your next meeting or convention, you’ll want to talk with us!

Located in the heart of Illinois and the Midwest, the Peoria Area is just a short drive from Chicago, Indianapolis and St. Louis and is accessible via major interstates.  If you’re traveling from further away, our international airport offers non-stop flights from 11 destinations, along with cabs, car rentals, and shuttle service to your final destination.

The Peoria Area offers great accommodations as well, with over 4,500 hotel rooms to choose from – many of them newly renovated and within walking distance of the largest downstate event facility in Illinois. The cities of Peoria and East Peoria each boast riverside downtowns with dining, shopping, festivals, nightlife and culture – providing plenty of options for fun once the day’s business is done.

Host a convention that gives your attendees the quality experience they are expecting - at a more affordable rate than major metro markets. Bring your next meeting to the Peoria Area!
