The Best Venue for Delaware Conventions
Large businesses and corporations on the East Coast frequently begin their search for a convention location in the biggest cities: New York, Philadelphia, Washington DC, etc. Each city is easily accessible by air, features extremely prestigious hotels and convention venues, and offers employees ample resources to enjoy their non-seminar time in the city.
Located between these three cities, however, is an appealing alternative. All of the big-city amenities and more can be found at the Four-Diamond Delaware convention facilities of Dover Downs Hotel and Casino. Dover, Delaware is a short limousine ride from three international airports, providing easy traveling for Delaware convention attendees from across the country.
