Planning Your Next Meeting? Come See Why You’ll Say Yes to Columbus

Exciting new developments, from the airport to the Merchant Building in historic North Market, are happening in Columbus.

Columbus, Ohio is known for its friendly personality and accessible, walkable footprint—ideal for attendees and planners who want a seamless meeting experience. But this vibrant, culturally rich city is a whole lot more than that.

The fastest growing city in the Midwest, Columbus was named a Top Meeting Destination in North America for 2025, by Cvent. And no wonder. Already equipped with a wide range of venues to accommodate gathers of all sizes, the city has exciting development on the horizon. Coming soon is a $345-million Merchant Building next to the historic North Market, featuring a 206-room luxury hotel, set to be complete in 2027—just in time for the market’s 150^th anniversary. And a new terminal at The John Glenn Columbus International Airport (CMH) will open its doors in 2029—expanding airport capacity by 51% and making an already accessible city from destinations around the country even easier to reach.
