Located across from the Hyatt Regency Phoenix, the Convention Center is the ideal venue. Inspired by the hues of the Sonoran Desert and the cool tones of the Arizona sky, the Phoenix Convention Center welcomes visitors with natural light streaming in from dramatic architecture reminiscent of the Grand Canyon.
