With a thriving minority business community, one of the country’s oldest and largest “Gayborhoods” and vibrant African American, Latino, Native American and Asian communities, Philadelphia is the perfect place to host a diverse meeting or conference.
Thirty years ago, the PHLCVB became first CVB in the country to establish a division to promote Philadelphia as an inclusive destination for diverse events, conventions and visitors. PHL Diversity leads the charge in hospitality inclusion efforts and connects meeting and convention planners with the region’s diverse community to ensure successful events.

Much of the growth taking place in the city surrounds the Pennsylvania Convention Center itself. Taking up residence in the former Gallery at Market East is Fashion District Philadelphia, a mix of retail, dining and entertainment scheduled to open in 2018. Spanning three blocks, the shopping center will include national retailers as well as a dine-in movie theater with reclining seats. Adding to the Market Street redevelopment is East Market, a distinctive, mixed-use space with retailers and restaurants. By Independence Mall, the historic Bourse, which served as an exchange building from 1891 to 1960, will turn into The Bourse Marketplace, a trendy food court with ethnic fare prepared by local chefs, scheduled to open in summer 2018.
An impressive new addition to the historic district is the Museum of the American Revolution, which has become one of Philadelphia’s most sought-after event venues. Opened in 2017, the impressive museum tells the remarkable story of America’s founding with original artifacts in immersive settings. Located two blocks from the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall, the 118,000-square-foot museum offers six event spaces with additional outdoor space. The Rotunda handles up to 350 guests for a reception, and the theater is ideal for presentations and speeches and seats 171.
APROGRESSIVE CITY FILLED WITH HISTORY AND INNOVATION, PHILADELPHIA is constantly evolving with new development and spirited enhancements. The Pennsylvania Convention Center—with more than 1 million square feet of saleable space and the largest ballroom on the East Coast (55,408 square feet)—offers flexible space that combines historic preservation and architectural innovation. The facility is centrally located with direct access to Philadelphia’s public bus system, subways, regional rail and taxis, so getting around is easy.
PHILADELPHIA
Philadelphia’s skyline will be transformed with the completion of the Comcast Technology Center in 2018, slated to be the tallest building in Pennsylvania. The vertical innovation hub will not only house Comcast but also a Four Seasons hotel on its top floors. Overall, new hotel construction in Philadelphia through early 2019 will lead to a 20 percent increase in room inventory. (For a list of new hotels, turn to page 22).
The Viaduct Rail Park, an abandoned rail yard turned public space, is set to open in spring 2018. Infused with history, horticulture and visual and performing arts, the elevated park will be just a few blocks from the Pennsylvania Convention Center. Also undergoing a major facelift is Philadelphia’s iconic LOVE Park, which will receive added green space, a new fountain and a refreshed Fairmount Park Visitor Center. Both projects will offer unique outdoor experiences for attendees just steps from the Pennsylvania Convention Center.
In Philadelphia, centuries of living history are juxtaposed with modern advancement that reflects the city’s character and energy. Experience the vitality and momentum of America’s birthplace. Book your next meeting or convention in Philadelphia and visit MeetPHL.com or call 855-MEET-PHL.

Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (PAFA): The first museum and fine arts school in America, PAFA boasts a renowned collection of 19th- and 20th-century American artwork, including pieces by Winslow Homer, Cecilia Beaux and Thomas Eakins, as well as contemporary artists like Philip Pearlstein and Jennifer Bartlett. Designed by Frank Furness, the 1876 Victorian Gothic landmark building is a work of art itself—and is located just across Broad Street from the Pennsylvania Convention Center. Look for the giant paintbrush out front. pafa.org
Reading Terminal Market: Adjacent to the Pennsylvania Convention Center, the Reading Terminal Market offers a taste of Philadelphia history. As the oldest continuously operating farmers market in the country, Reading Terminal is a maze of more than 80 merchants and ethnically diverse eateries, including Middle Eastern, Pennsylvania Dutch, Greek, Asian and more. Local specialties at the Market include roast pork sandwiches at DiNic’s, scrapple at the Down Home Diner and cannolis from Termini Brothers Bakery. For regional gifts for those back home, stop at the Pennsylvania General Store. readingterminalmarket.org
Independence National Historical Park: For history buffs, no visit is complete without exploring Philadelphia’s rich colonial history.
