Conventions bring an estimated $60 million in economic impact to Spokane every year. These dollars are spent on more than hotel rooms and meeting sites. Meeting delegates, and often their spouses and families, are looking for new restaurants to try, stores to discover, and activities that will help them feel they have truly 'experienced' Spokane. The CVB's Confidential Convention Calendar is a great way to market your business to groups that have scheduled a convention or meeting in Spokane. Additionally, the calendar provides important information to consider when developing your staff schedules or planning special promotions.
