Testimonials
Our story is best told by others. Hear how LA brings meetings and conventions to life from planners, attendees, community members and industry leaders.
- Josh Adams, Industry Relations Strategist, streamlineventsThere has to really be something about a city – it's what a lot of people describe as a vibe. There's already a built-in mindset about being able to create anything you want in Los Angeles and be anything you want to be, which translates to business. Los Angeles is always top of mind to provide the right venue, space and vibe for that particular meeting.
Where Planners Become Producers: L.A. LIVE
What’s it like meeting in Downtown LA’s entertainment and sports epicenter? L.A. LIVE is home to numerous restaurants, The GRAMMY Museum®, an ESPN broadcasting center and more. In our video series on LA’s unique venues, meeting planner Tony Scurry shares his experiences (and a video tour) of this electric campus.
Los Angeles Career Academy
In 2021, the City Tourism Department (CTD) launched the Career Academy, bringing students to the LA Convention Center to visit conventions in the medical, technology and corporate fields, as well as consumer shows. You can integrate the LA Career Academy into your convention and connect high school students to unique experiences and industry leaders during your event.
NatCon23
“We were looking for a dynamic city on the West Coast that would excite our attendees and offer a centrally located convention center [...] LA provided a welcoming atmosphere where attendees felt safe to walk around the city any time of day or night, enjoying the multitude of bars, restaurants, and entertainment options available to them.”
- Sara Haywood, CMP, Assistant Vice President of Conference & Events for National Council for Mental Wellbeing (NatCon)
Business Connect
Business Connect, LA’s supplier diversity program, connects you to the city’s network of minority, women, LGBTQ+ and veteran-owned business suppliers, providing them with the opportunity to support your event. You can connect directly to this network through LA Tourism and integrate the services you need into your meeting, convention or event.
