Louisville

Welcome to Derby City

Louisville blends Southern hospitality with modern infrastructure. Downtown convention venues, bourbon distilleries, and historic hotels all add easy access and genuine character to corporate events of any size.

Lets talk.

Your Event in Louisville

Downtown Louisville is the city’s meeting hub, home to the Kentucky International Convention Center, top-tier hotels, and streets lined with restaurants and live music. Waterfront Park and Whiskey Row offer adaptable venues that bring the destination’s personality forward.

Louisville is for connoisseurs
plus minus

Louisville sits at the start of the Kentucky Bourbon Trail, and its distilleries are built for more than tours. Groups can host tastings, dinners, or networking events at venues like Angel’s Envy or Old Forester, where craftsmanship meets conversation.

Louisville is for fanatics
plus minus

Home of the Kentucky Derby, Louisville embraces its sporting spirit year-round. Groups can tour Churchill Downs, visit the Muhammad Ali Center, or schedule private events at Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory. Between the arts district, riverfront trails, and live music scene, there’s always more to see than expected.

Louisville is for planners
plus minus

Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport connects to major U.S. hubs and sits within minutes of downtown hotels and meeting venues. The city’s size makes navigation easy, with no long transfers or complicated routes between events.

Spring and fall bring ideal temperatures for outdoor programs, while summers are lively with festivals and waterfront concerts. Winters stay moderate, keeping the city’s event calendar active year-round.
