The Bradenton Area is catching the attention of regional and national meeting planners looking to host a memorable conference, trade show, or corporate retreat. This is largely thanks to the newly transformed Bradenton Area Convention Center, which officially completed renovations in late October. The new venue provides 95,000 square feet of dynamic event space, making it the largest Convention Center between St. Petersburg and Naples – and an asset to Florida’s West Coast and the meetings and conventions community at large. The Convention Center’s convenient location, near downtown Bradenton and the beaches of Anna Maria Island, also makes it an ideal choice for meeting planners looking to lean into the growing “bleisure” trend of mixing business and leisure to attract attendees and create unforgettable events. Meeting planners can take advantage of the thriving arts and culture scene for cultivating creativity, 16 publicly accessible nature parks and preserves for reconnecting teams, 16 miles of sugar-white sand beaches for relaxing post-meetings, and fresh Floribbean cuisine for delighting a range of palates.
