With a population of nearly 1.2 million people, Birmingham is Alabama’s largest metropolitan area.
Your dollar goes farther here, so your attendees can have a better time. Well-priced hotels and venues create a remarkable value for meeting planners. And the value proposition extends to every aspect of your experience, from catering to entertainment.

Get the week you want, the venue you want, and the price you want.
Our meetings & conventions team specializes in making the process simple for meeting planners. We can help you get up to speed on Birmingham quickly, and identify the hotels and venues you need.
Our venues have strong availability – you won’t have to fight for space or an optimum convention week. Birmingham often can give you options when other mid-sized cities can’t.

Our diversity of experiences gives you all sorts of options.
It’s easy and quite doable to stay in one part of town, and have a uniquely luxurious or historic moment in another.
Attendees here tell us they feel genuinely welcomed and appreciated. Yes, it’s southern hospitality, but it’s also not feeling like a number. Compared to other cities, you’ll get more smiles and fewer eyerolls from the locals; we’re genuinely glad you’re here!
