• Local expertise including speakers and trainers from MSU and the state government.
• Close proximity to the State Capitol Building and the Michigan Supreme Court Learning Center and Hall of Justice. Are you a planner for an education or legal service association? Meet in Greater Lansing and attend pivotal court proceedings in the Michigan Supreme Court, the highest court in the state!

  • Attend discussions or watch passage of a bill pertinent to your organization.
  • Invite key state lawmakers to attend your conference for a legislative panel, political action committee (PAC) reception and more.
• It's compact, easy to navigate and near the junction of major state highways. Downtown Lansing is only ten minutes from Capital Region International Airport.
• Affordability:
  • With so many state associations based in Greater Lansing, it's a wise choice to cut down on travel costs and have quick access to your office computer, copier, staff, etc.
  • With affordable lodging and decreased travel expenses, event attendees can afford to bring family and friends!

Testimonials

"A large part of what makes the Michigan Dental Association's meetings in the Lansing area a success is the Greater Lansing Convention and Visitors Bureau. We can trust and depend on them totally when we have requests for outside services. This has been demonstrated throughout the years that I have worked with the bureau. Quality, promptness and courtesy all are important to us, and the are obviously important to the GLCVB too."

"It has always been a pleasure to work with the Greater Lansing CVB. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and helpful with so many of the details that go into planning a multi-day conference. In many ways I consider the CVB as an extension of my own staff, handling tasks and proposals so my time is freed up to do other things. The GLCVB is a great resource for meeting professionals to ensure a successful and organized event."
