LEADERS WANTED
YOU HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO LEAD JOBS AND BUSINESS TO PHILADELPHIA,
AND WE NEED YOUR HELP.
Most of us belong to clubs, groups, professional organizations and
houses of worship—all of whom sponsor and organize meetings
and conventions. Not to mention the meetings we can influence
at work.
Meetings and conventions like these lead to billions of dollars for
our region each year. Helping bring (or keep) one in the region
could give you and your company invaluable benefits. And best of
all, Philadelphia is a great place to hold a meeting—so you can feel
good about recommending your hometown.
We’re lucky to have a region rich in black history and culture with
countless historical sites, including The African American Museum
in Philadelphia and future President’s House. We also happen to be
one of the top places to hold family reunions, just ask The
Washington Post.
It’s no wonder then that nearly a quarter of the visitors to our
region are African American, and that many family reunions and
major African American organizations like the National Baptist
Convention USA, Inc. and Delta Sigma Theta Sorority have sought
out Philadelphia as a meeting place.
So contact us to learn how you can lead a meeting, convention or
reunion—and jobs—to Philadelphia, the city where everybody’s at
liberty to meet.
