THIS IS PHOENIX.
Somewhere, a giant concrete box passes for a convention center. Somewhere, chain restaurants attract patrons like bug
zappers attract mosquitoes. Somewhere, taxi rides take forever and walking is a lost art.
But not here. Not in downtown Phoenix.
Here, the convention center is a glass-and-stone marvel inspired by the colors of the Grand Canyon. Here, local chefs
reward patrons who'd rather discover a restaurant than have it thrust upon them. Here, Point A is never far from Point
B, and the space between is spanned by sunny sidewalks and sleek light rail trains.
This is Phoenix. Why hold your next meeting merely somewhere when you could make it memorable here?
