Perched along the shores of majestic Lake Superior, Duluth, Minnesota is a year-round destination that naturally draws people together. With sweeping lake views, a top-tier convention center, thousands of hotel rooms, a lively dining and shopping scene, and endless outdoor recreation in every season, Duluth delivers both inspiration and infrastructure. From winter strategy sessions to summer conferences, this is a destination that feels refreshing, memorable, and simply good for your event.
1. Room with a View. Few convention centers can compete with the setting of the Duluth Entertainment Convention Center (DECC). Positioned on the shores of Lake Superior, the Harbor Side Ballroom offers sweeping panoramic views that instantly elevate any meeting. As one of Minnesota’s largest convention centers, DECC features two ballrooms, 30 meeting rooms, and 125,000 square feet of exhibit space, all supported by in-house catering and expo services. Nationally recognized for sustainability, DECC is home to AMSOIL Arena—the first LEED Silver–certified arena in the U.S.—and an event planning team that consistently earns rave reviews.
2. Easy Access. Getting to Duluth is refreshingly simple. The Duluth International Airport’s modern, LEED Silver–certified terminal was designed with traveler comfort in mind. Daily jet service on Delta, American, and United connects attendees to major hubs including Minneapolis–St. Paul, Chicago O’Hare, and Denver—making arrivals and departures smooth and stress-free.
3. A Whole New Look. Meeting planners appreciate Duluth’s value-driven approach, with no attrition and free parking at many properties. The city offers nearly 5,000 hotel rooms, including a walkable block of 1,300 rooms within three blocks of the DECC. Recent renovations add fresh appeal, including the Holiday Inn & Suites’ $5 million update featuring the Lyric Conference Space, and newly refreshed guest rooms and lobby at the Comfort Suites Canal Park.
4. Brewing Success. Duluth’s craft beverage scene is a standout. With brewing roots dating back to the late 1800s, the city now boasts an impressive collection of breweries crafting ales, lagers, stouts, and more—many within easy walking distance. Vikre Distillery adds small-batch organic spirits to the mix, along with emerging cider houses that give planners creative options for networking and off-site events.
5. Duluth Rocks! Unique venues set Duluth apart. Host an event at the historic Clyde Iron Works or its modern Malting Building, take a scenic dinner ride aboard the North Shore Scenic Railroad, cruise Lake Superior with the Vista Fleet, or experience the elegance of Glensheen Mansion. Groups can also enjoy hands-on dining at the Great Lakes Aquarium, casual gatherings at Grandma’s Sports Garden, or year-round team-building at Spirit Mountain Recreation Area.
