Where Business Meets Scale

The Citywide Track at Connect Spring Marketplace is built for the industry’s largest, most transformative gatherings.

Built for Events That Move Cities

At Connect Spring Marketplace, the Citywide Track isn’t about fitting into a box—it’s about breaking the mold. Engage with destinations that can deliver 1,000+ rooms on peak and 100,000+ square feet of meeting space—the kind of scale that transforms events into city-defining experiences.

Gain direct access to decision-makers searching for partners who can rotate nationally, anchor the biggest events, and create ripple effects far beyond the convention floor. Build relationships with professionals who share the same drive for impact, scale, and measurable results.

This isn’t just another track—it’s the blueprint for citywide success.
