Travel
We can’t wait to welcome you to the Minneapolis Convention Center! We’re so glad you’ll join us in this vibrant, diverse, and resilient city. Known as the “City of Lakes,” Minneapolis is shaped by a rich cultural heritage and a strong tradition of activism.
In the wake of George Floyd’s murder in Minneapolis in 2020, the city became a global epicenter for racial justice—sparking reflection, dialogue, and action that continues today. Under the leadership of Governor Tim Walz, Minnesota has worked to advance equity, education, and community healing, while also recognizing the urgent challenges still ahead. As we gather to Build Stronger and Kinder Communities, we honor this history and the ongoing work of local changemakers. May the spirit of this place inspire deep connection, courageous learning, and meaningful change throughout our time together.
If you have extra time in Minneapolis, please take a look.
