The VenueConnect Annual Conference and Trade Show hosts professionals from a spectrum of public assembly venues including arenas, convention centers, amphitheaters, fairgrounds, performing arts centers, stadiums, universities, and more.
Professionals of every level from all types of venues attend VenueConnect for the inspiration, expertise, and life-long relationships that the conference provides. IAVM understands that the agenda of a young professional could be very different from the agenda of an experienced venue veteran and that the interests of a university professional could be very different from the interests of a performing arts professional.
