Why Choose Our Destination?

If you are looking for an inspired and productive meeting venue, it helps to start with an equally inspiring location. From conventions and seminars to weddings, trade shows, family reunions, and retreats, Bend offers meeting planners a thoughtful mix of tools for both business and pleasure. It's a proven fact that PowerPoint presentations are easier to digest when one has a moonlit canoe adventure to look forward to. Sales meetings are more motivational when your team is surrounded by the majestic peaks of the Cascade Mountains. And team-building is more cohesive when experienced in the awe-inspiring beauty of Central Oregon. In Bend, our expansive mix of meeting facilities, a state-of-the-art convention center, convenient access, abundance of restaurants and unparalleled outdoor recreation provide the perfect recipe for the perfect meeting. Of course, Bend is best known for amazing scenery and outdoor pursuits, so why not take advantage? If it's a wedding you're planning, consider making it an outdoor affair.Central Oregon is filled with spectacular settings for your outdoor or indoor wedding and reception. Imagine tying the knot with blazing orange basalt rock outcroppings in the distance at Smith Rock State Park, a vineyard wedding with a view of the Three Sisters mountains, or a quaint hall surrounded with a grassy green lawn and a kids’ fishing pond at Shevlin Park. If a luxury event is what you are after, plan a luxurious resort style wedding with entertaining activities and lavish amenities in one spot for all of your guests to enjoy at one of the many Bend, Oregon resorts like Mt. Bachelor Village, the Riverhouse on the Deschutes or Tetherow. Whether you're hosting a large sales convention or a small family reunion, be sure to save time for savoring Bend's wealth of fun activities. Schedule a casual meeting on the green at one of 25 local golf courses, or plan a pampered outing with the girls at a luxurious day spa. Need to do a little team-building? Many guided tour companies offer customized outdoor adventures for groups of all sizes. The possibilities are as endless as the sunshine in Bend!
