MAKING GREAT

MEETINGS

“In 2014, we posted our strongest convention
booking year in more than a decade. These
unprecedented numbers would not have been
attainable without the transformation that has
taken place at the Convention Center under
SMG’s management, the leadership of Greg Fox
and Josh Shapiro, as well as John McNichol,
Lorenz Hassenstein, and the four signatory
unions at the building. Meeting planners who
had never considered Philadelphia are now
coming to the table and taking us into serious
consideration as a host city.”
