Meetings & Conferences

Unless you need space for 20,000 people or just like the heavy traffic and high cost of major markets, we are the perfect choice for your next convention, conference, or sales meeting.  We are at the crossroads of major interstate highways (both east/west and north/south) and two state turnpikes. Situated midway between Cleveland and Pittsburgh, we are an easy, economical drive from a large percentage of the U.S. population and only an hour’s drive from either the Cleveland or Pittsburgh airports.

You and your attendees will definitely enjoy the friendly, welcoming attitude of people who truly appreciate your visit and show it through sincere and genuine Midwestern hospitality. Whether in hotels, restaurants, shops, or on the streets… you will find us to be proud of where we live and eager to help you see why.

Our convention and meeting facilities are just right for conferences large or small.  All are conveniently situated near major highways and area attractions.

We offer the benefits of being a college town and all the advantages it implies. The “heartbeat” of that resource and environment is the beautiful downtown campus of Youngstown State University – host of the annual Summer Arts Festival and home to one of the nation’s best schools of fine and performing arts.  YSU offers a park-like setting for meetings from 500 to 4,500, with abundant parking and high-tech telecommunications capabilities.

If you need more room, we have our newly opened sports and convention complex, the Chevrolet Centre.  There you will find capacity up to 5,500+ with all the convention and staging services you might need.

For smaller groups, our area hotels offer meeting and banquet facilities for events from 50 to 1,000 and are located near the major highway interchanges, restaurants, and shopping.

Give us a call and we will help you get the most out of your next event.
