Phoenix
For centuries, the Sonoran Desert has been a source of innovation and inspiration. It began with the Hohokam people, who created canals that fed a civilization for more than a thousand years. Today, it can be found throughout the nation’s fifth-largest city in a thriving community that elevates art, culture, cuisine and more to levels of greatness.
Phoenix has seen more than $5 billion in downtown investments in the last several years. We are home to the #8 best convention center in the U.S. Downtown Phoenix is a vibrant, walkable urban corridor teeming with culture and unique experiences. And if all that’s not enough, we even put a brewery in our ultramodern convention center.
