Smart Meetings is getting a firsthand look at the reinvention of the historic Midwest city of Cincinnati. New entertainment districts and a fresh dining scene bring more visitors to Cincy than ever, mixing with old character neighborhoods and venues to complete a stunning transformation. We’ll also explore part of Cincinnati’s long history with sports—fresh off the Rogers Cup tournament, the top-ranked players in Tennis will be facing off at the Cincinnati Masters Western & Southern Open at the Lindner Family Tennis Center. Hundreds of millions of dollars have gone into Cincinnati’s makeover, and the city’s convention and visitors bureau has invited us out to explore everything that’s new, old and improved.
Follow Smart Meetings social media posts this week to see all that Cincinnati and its revitalized central business district offer planners and meetings attendees, and keep track of Senior Content Producer Paul Love’s adventures in the Queen City here and at @SmartMtgsPaul.
