Memphis Tourism

Why Choose Memphis?

If you've ever planned an event in Memphis, you might not recognize it the next time you see it. This river city is on the rise, with an all-new convention center, airport upgrades and thousands of new hotel rooms (with more on the way) — plus a transformative sports facility in development. All in the boutique, yet affordable, destination of Memphis, the legendary home of blues, soul and rock 'n' roll — and recently named to TIME's "World's Greatest Places." Of course, we’re centrally located, too; in fact, Memphis is a 6- to 8-hour drive from 85% of the U.S. population. With the recent $200M modernization of Memphis’ Renasant Convention Center, planners and groups will discover a meeting and event facility as unique as the city that surrounds it: a 118,000-SF, column-free exhibit hall — the largest in the region — with flexible space, natural light and Mississippi River views. The facility has already been named a Planners’ Choice winner for Smart Meetings’ Smart Stars Best Convention Center (2022) and earned the title of “Best Customer Service and On-Site Support” through Exhibitor Magazine’s 2022 Centers of Excellence. https://time.com/collection/worlds-greatest-places-2021/6079327/memphis/ https://www.renasantconventioncenter.com Meet Memphis's Convention, Sports Sales, and Services team who will guide and partner with you to provide complimentary planning and support services, competitive meeting offers, and the local knowledge of a dedicated and passionate team. - Malvin Gipson, Executive Vice President Conventions Sales, Sports, and Services - Kimberly Wells, Director of Convention Services/CRM Administrator - Brandon Benson, Director of National Accounts- Northeast Region - Kermit Madison, Senior Director of Multicultural Sales- West Region - Patrick Aversa, Director of National Accounts - Midwest Region, Health and Non-Profit - JJ Greer, Director of Sports & Events - Joshua Rubin, National Sales Director - Katie Ligon, Sports Specialist - Sarah Johnson, Convention Sales and Services Specialist Come, meet in Memphis, where Soul meets the Blues and Rock N Roll!
