Need help with attendance building or finding the perfect unique venue for your next event? Don't stress. When you work with the Greater Lansing Convention and Visitors Bureau, you have a built-in planning partner! Our staff is full of specialized industry experts with plenty of event-planning experience and key local relationships to get things done. All of our sales managers hold the well-respected Certified Meeting Professional (CMP) designation and the Greater Lansing CVB is fully accredited with Destinations International (DI). You'll soon find out, we care as much about hosting a perfect event as you do.
As a direct result of the devastating impact COVID-19 has had on the local hospitality industry, the GLCVB/GLSA finds itself in the unenviable position of having to implement a temporary leave policy for many of the staff of the organization.
The GLCVB/GLSA will significantly scale back promotional efforts but will maintain critical operations for the foreseeable future.
If you have an immediate need and wish to contact a staff member please reach out to the department head listed below.
