Springfield is a one-of-a-kind city for meetings, conventions and recreation.
Nearly 50 percent of the U.S. population lives within a 500-mile radius of Springfield, which is Missouri's third-largest city. Offering nearly 6,000 hotel rooms and convention and exhibit space, Springfield can accommodate groups up to 12,000 and has consistently ranked by the "Corporate Travel Index" as one of the least expensive convention cities in the nation. Easy access via major highways, interstates and the recently expanded Springfield-Branson National Airport allows Springfield to be a prime meeting and convention destination. In one of the country's most scenic regions, Springfield and the Ozarks offer fabulous entertainment, great attractions and wonderful shopping.
