Big Time Citywides Give Planners Access to Wide Range of Experiences

Smart Meetings – December 2017

Citywide conventions bring cities and communities together. They give destinations the chance to dazzle and entertain visitors by showing off their best attributes.

A Progressive Mindset Anchors Boise Meetings – Who Knew?

Prevue Meetings – November/December 2017

When groups visit Boise, Idaho, their typical response is “who knew?” according to Terry Kopp, director of sales for the Boise Convention & Visitors Bureau. With a population just over 220,000, Boise has the immersive, small-town vibe that groups want. The Boise Airport is located just 10 minutes from downtown, and conventions of a notable size (1,000-plus) essentially run the town and are viewed as key to the city’s economy, says Kopp.
“We stand out because we are a city smaller in population, but one that offers many of the same amenities you find in larger cities such as the ballet and symphony,” says Kopp. That said, Boise’s downtown is seeing major growth.

Snake River Valley, Idaho Ranked # 10
Must-hit wineries: Bitner, HAT Ranch, Ste. Chapelle all within one hour of Boise.
“The Snake River Valley is young and exciting,” says Boyle, “and the unique combination of long, warm, sunny days and cool nights produces balanced and food-friendly wines that are starting to make a name for themselves.” Of Idaho’s three AVAs, this one is the oldest and many of its wineries boast panoramic views of the Snake River and the nearby Owyhee Mountains. Plus, the region is also one of America’s best for outdoorsy travelers, so your non-tasting time can be spent hiking, whitewater rafting, or mountain biking.
