Quad Cities: Your Premier Meeting Destination

The Quad Cities is your regional destination for meetings, conventions, conferences, and events. Positioned on the Mississippi River, nearly 500,000 Quad Citizens welcome you to experience a premier community, extending Midwestern spirit, and with a team of professionals ready to deliver. 

The QC offers a diverse portfolio of venues, hotel partners, unique dining options, attractions, and authentic amenities that will create moments second to none. 

We are a dynamic bi-state (Iowa/Illinois), multi-community region. Rich in history and transforming daily, the Quad Cities is the largest metropolitan area on the upper Mississippi River between St. Louis and Minneapolis. 

Centrally-located within a six-hour drive of 37 million people, the Quad Cities is accessible, affordable, and is a market that understands the value of events in all shapes and sizes. 

Visit Quad Cities is the region’s official Destination Management and Marketing Organization (DMMO) hosting events that drive a meaningful impact on economic development and quality of life enhancement. 

Festivals, farmer’s markets, parks, and busy bike paths bring action to the riverfronts.  Riverboats, pleasure crafts, barges, and kayaks move in the river’s current.  Live music courses through the many inside and outdoor venues in the area.  Restaurants, microbreweries, wineries, and distilleries are filled with lively conversation and laughter.

Join us in the Quad Cities for your next event!  The experienced team at Visit Quad Cities will make it easy, work closely with you to deliver plenty of options for spaces and amenities, and connect you to key people in our community to ensure your event is a success.  We are all about people, partnerships, and personality!
