2026 Special Cincy Group Offer

When it comes to tradeshows and conventions, Cincy is just getting started. Cincinnati's compact downtown has undergone an $800 million generational transformation with the development of a first-class Convention District. With the $264M First Financial Center redesign and modernization construction completed in January 2026, and a brand new, connected Marriott Headquarters Hotel anticipated to open in 2028, we have no shortage of unique venues that can host your group meetings or events. Visit Cincy is offering discounts and cashback that are hard to resist. Plus, our Sharonville Convention Center, located just 15 minutes north of downtown, recently completed an expansion of its exhibit hall.
