"The city was the perfect size to hold our meeting and had the necessary amenities of a walkable downtown (drug store, shopping, restaurants, etc.). The shop keepers and restaurateurs seemed excited to have us and our attendees felt appreciated. Spokane was a stellar meeting city for this conference."

Asked whether Spokane would be a convention destination she would recommend to others Gabriela Contreras responded: "Definitely! It is a place where you have the best of both worlds; you can connect with nature (mountains, parks, trees) but you also have the city aspect with great shopping, museums, great restaurants and other attractions. Great walking city."

Gabriela Contreras, Assistant to Executive Director & Exhibit Hall Manager, Women of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America

"Easy access to the airport, lots to see, and an overall great experience. I would recommend Spokane to anyone making conference arrangements in the State of Washington. I had never been to Spokane before our first conference in 2007; I was pleasantly surprised with what I saw. Enough to rebook our 2009 conference and hopefully future conferences as well."
