Buffalo Meeting & Convention Planning
There’s never been a better time to come to Buffalo. Why? Well, we’ve got a renovated convention center and a ton of new restaurants, craft breweries, distilleries, and food trucks. We’ve been reenergizing the entire city by restoring our historic architecture, expanding our cultural attractions, revitalizing our neighborhoods, and diversifying our culinary scene.
In Buffalo, you spend less time coordinating and more time connecting. Our downtown is compact, safe and easy to navigate. And Buffalo makes budgets go further without cutting corners. So you can enjoy polished venues, stylish hotels and meals worth remembering without worrying about the numbers.
Experience the new vibe in Buffalo on a site visit with Leah Mueller and her team and you’ll see exactly why Buffalo is the perfect fit for your meeting or convention.

I love a good sunset and Buffalo does not disappoint. Strolling the boardwalk at Canalside with ice cream in hand, is a perfect way to end a day. I love seeing all the boats and watching the sky change from a bright blue, to pinks, oranges and reds. That’s Buffalo For You!
