Make Waves at Your Spokane Events

Spokane has transformed its downtown into a compelling event destination centered on the spectacular Spokane Falls and Riverfront Park. The Spokane Convention Center provides over 100,000 square feet of modern meeting and exhibit space along the Spokane River, connected to the Davenport Grand Hotel. The facility hosted the 1974 World's Fair and has been continuously modernized, offering contemporary amenities with a dramatic natural backdrop.

As the largest city between Seattle and Minneapolis in the northern tier, Spokane serves as the economic and cultural capital of the Inland Northwest, drawing from eastern Washington, northern Idaho, and western Montana. This regional hub position makes it a natural convening point for multi-state events. The city's lower costs, friendly atmosphere, and growing urban amenities offer a refreshing alternative to larger West Coast convention cities.

Spokane International Airport (GEG) offers nonstop service to 15+ cities including Seattle, Portland, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Denver, Phoenix, Minneapolis, and Chicago. The airport is 10 minutes from downtown. Spokane is also accessible by car from Seattle (4.5 hours), Portland (5.5 hours), and Boise (6 hours). Amtrak's Empire Builder route stops in Spokane.

The Davenport Hotel collection anchors downtown hospitality, with the Historic Davenport, Davenport Grand, Davenport Tower, and Davenport Lusso offering combined capacity of over 1,200 rooms. Additional properties bring the downtown total to over 3,000 rooms. Room rates average $120-$200 per night, offering excellent value. Catering draws on the region's agricultural bounty, including Washington wines, Idaho potatoes, and Pacific Northwest seafood, with a growing farm-to-table restaurant scene.
