Planning a conference or convention for an organization or corporation is a huge responsibility. Choosing the location is one of the most important aspects of the planning phase.
There are several advantages to considering conference centers in Belleville, Illinois. Transportation arrangements can be easily made to get event participants to and from your event.
Belleville is in close proximity to the city of St. Louis and several major interstates, including I-64, I-55, and I-70. Event attendees within driving distance to the St. Louis area will find Belleville easy to get to, and easy to get around in. Also, event attendees from outside of the area can easily get to the area by flying into Lambert International Airport in St. Louis. Lambert is a major airport, complete with St. Louis restaurants, and connects to most major cities in North America.
Guests arriving via air will be pleased to find that they will be able to ride MetroLink from the airport to Belleville. The MetroLink crosses the Mississippi River and goes straight into Belleville. Taxi service is also available within the city of Belleville.
Food is an important part of the history and culture of the St. Louis area. St. Louis restaurants embrace these signature foods and drinks and roll out the red carpet for visitors to the area.
Of course, St. Louis would not be St. Louis without Anheuser-Busch beer. The company is an integral part of the history and culture of the area, and even offers brewery tours and free samples to visitors. St. Louis is also famous for St. Louis style pizza, a thin pizza with Provel cheese that is usually cut into squares rather than slices.
Other foods for which the area is known include delicious barbeque, Ted Drewes Frozen Custard, toasted ravioli, pork steaks, waffle cones for ice cream, and gooey butter cake. Choosing to hold your conference in one of the conference centers in Belleville, such as the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Snows, ensures that your guests will be able to enjoy these tasty St. Louis style treats in Missouri or our local Belleville restaurants.
