Patty's Planning Pointers: Meetings

A Transportation Hub

If easy access to the meeting site is your prime concern, consider locating your event Downtown. All of the major hotels are within walking distance of the Convention Center as well as dozens of shops, restaurants and theaters. It’s a quick 10-minute ride from the airport and no more than 15 minutes from anywhere else in town. Downtown is also where you can pick up the Rail Runner Express train, which will take you straight into the heart of Santa Fe in just over an hour. It’s a beautiful train ride, and a day trip to Santa Fe is an attractive option for attendees. 
 
Speaking of transportation, Albuquerque’s International Sunport is an extremely convenient airport and the primary gateway to New Mexico. The Sunport is conveniently located on the south edge of the city with easy access to hotels around the metro area. Albuquerque’s culture is reflected through the airport’s architecture and a unique 113-piece permanent art collection.
