Event Services

With its rich artistic history and present-day arts scene, it's no surprise how the Sarasota area got its nickname: Florida’s Cultural Coast®. And when you hold your group's meeting or event here, it's seamless to incorporate this creativity and inspire your attendees to use their imagination. 

Sarasota County’s meeting venues can delight and surprise your guests, provide them with a luxurious experience, educate them—or all of the above. Take a tour through our top event spaces to find the perfect location (or locations!) for your next gathering.

It’s not uncommon for people to return from a conference and say they never left their hotel. When you plan a meeting or event in Sarasota, you’ll hear a much different post-conference story from your attendees, since many of our popular downtown hotels are within walking distance of restaurants and attractions.

You might know Sarasota County as a vacation destination, but did you know it’s also a great meeting location? When you choose to hold your conference here, you can expect your attendees to enjoy an easy trip here and beautiful weather and fun activities once they’ve arrived. And you’ll have access to an array of venues to host your event – from well-known hotels to renowned museums.
