WHAT MEETING Organizers Say

“Our annual La Cosecha Conference attracts 3,500–4,000 participants whenever Santa Fe is the hosting city. We hold hundreds of meetings at more than a dozen locations within blocks of the historic downtown Plaza. Participants move with ease while enjoying the beautiful and enchanting destination. We’ll never turn down Santa Fe!” —DAVID ROGERS, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, DUAL LANGUAGE EDUCATION OF NEW MEXICO

Thank you to the leadership and staff of each of the hotels, restaurants, museums, galleries, sites, and attractions we visited. There is so much to see and do! Beforehand, the largest barrier for me was the distance from Albuquerque, but I would much rather move quickly through gorgeous country than crawl through traffic in a larger city. I will look for opportunities to come back.” —DAVID JENNINGS, CAE, SPHR, VICE PRESIDENT, EDUCATION COMMUNITY ASSOCIATIONS INSTITUTE

The entire staff at the Santa Fe Community Convention Center is by far the best team I have worked with during my 13 years in the conference business. The sales team is professional, always responsive, starting with Yes as their answer to our questions. The on-site crew is dependable and timely with our requests from hundreds of attendees. I can wholeheartedly recommend the SFCCC for your next event.” —DENISE FORLIZZI, OPERATIONS MANAGER, CONFERENCE MANAGER, THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF MEDICAL EDUCATION

“Our organization has been meeting in Santa Fe since the late 1980s. Whether we bring 100 people or more than a thousand, our members love it. TOURISM Santa Fe is a pleasure to work with. They have great connections with all the properties, and know all the fun stuff to do. The art, restaurants, local flavor, and the outdoor mecca are a huge draw to both our domestic and global membership. We love Santa Fe—its people, its charm, and its hospitality.” —MARK HOLLAND, ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR, ROCKY MOUNTAIN MINERAL LAW FOUNDATION
