Community Collaboration: The Ithaca Downtown Conference Center was a shared vision of the Downtown Ithaca Alliance, City of Ithaca, Tompkins County Tourism Program, Tompkins County Chamber of Commerce and Ithaca/Tompkins County Convention and Visitors Bureau. The Ithaca Downtown Conference is supported by all lodging partners in Tompkins County, specifically hotels in the city of Ithaca, with the four Downtown Hotel partners as the anchor. Canopy by Hilton Ithaca Downtown, Ithaca Marriott Downtown on the Commons, Hilton Garden Inn and Hotel Ithaca have been critical in supporting this project since day one, investing in its success by committing to capital project funding as well as annual financial contributions The Downtown Ithaca Local Development Corporation (DILDC) owns the Ithaca Downtown Conference Center. The DILDC was formed as a non-profit local development corporation to provide economic development within the Ithaca community and its downtown central city core by: • Driving new economic activity which will support hundreds of local jobs and dozens of local businesses • Attracting new and returning visitors to our community, especially during the times of week and season of the year when our visitation is low • Contributing to the vibrancy and success of downtown Ithaca, our community’s core, as a community partner and a respectful and supportive neighbor The Ithaca Downtown Conference Center will be operated by ASM Global. ASM is a world-class leader in conference center management and a true partner to advancing this initiative and advising the project team. Progress for the Ithaca Downtown Conference Center continues with the support of numerous organizations, elected officials, New York State grant funding and developer investments. We are excited to show the progress of the construction, and to welcome your event to Ithaca!
