Whether you're hosting a large convention at the Minneapolis Convention Center, a sleek corporate meeting in Downtown Minneapolis, or a creative networking event in the North Loop, this bold, artsy city is ready to welcome your attendees in style.

With its mix of urban sophistication and natural beauty, Minneapolis brings fresh energy to any gathering. When you're brainstorming event planning ideas, think beyond the conference room—encourage guests to explore! A scenic stroll across the Stone Arch Bridge, kayaking on the Mississippi River, or a group photo at the iconic Spoonbridge and Cherry sculpture in the Walker Art Center’s Sculpture Garden adds a distinctly local touch. Art and culture lovers can wander the Minneapolis Institute of Art, while history enthusiasts will enjoy the Mill City Museum or the Basilica of Saint Mary.

And let’s not forget the food. From Juicy Lucys to Nordic-inspired fine dining, Minneapolis has it covered. Point attendees to foodie hubs in Northeast, or suggest casual bites at the Midtown Global Market. For views, drinks, and fresh air, rooftop lounges and patio bars in Uptown are ideal. Between sessions, guests can relax around the Chain of Lakes, explore Minnehaha Falls, or catch a show at the Guthrie Theater. And if your event syncs up with game day, a Vikings, Twins, Timberwolves, or Lynx game is a guaranteed win.

Add the finishing touch with custom event name badges and conference lanyards that reflect your brand and elevate your event's vibe. At Billy’s Badges, we specialize in creating vibrant, high-quality badges that make a lasting impression—while supporting sustainable event planning and management. Our eco-friendly printing options make it easy to go green without giving up bold design.

Give your attendees a badge they’ll love—and an event in a city they’ll never forget.
