Dear Friends,
This year has been an amazing one for the Sharonville Convention Center. In January, of course, we cut the ribbon on our $24 million expansion, designed to help Sharonville and Hamilton County attract and retain more convention, meeting and tourism business. It is slated to have an initial annual economic impact of $15 million – a figure expected to grow to $27 million annually in the first five years.
Judging from what we’ve seen so far, the expansion will deliver on those promises. We have been able to accommodate more than a dozen events that would have been lost to Hamilton County during the renovation of the Duke Energy Convention Center. The new amenities are receiving rave reviews. And business overall – both bookings and attendance – are pretty much up across the board.
The momentum shows no sign of slowing down, with 2025 shaping up to be a banner year. The calendar is already getting crowded, with new shows signing on and others growing in size.
If you are a meeting planner, my advice is to reserve space for your 2025 needs right now. We want to make sure we can accommodate your needs and show you the possibilities of the new Sharonville Convention Center.
Hope to see you – and hear from you – soon!
Jim
