Our advice: book private rooms by January 7, 2027.
The show fills both convention buildings, Summit at 9th and Pine and Arch at 7th and Pike, so pick dinner spots close to the building where your meetings are.
Downtown hotels and restaurants fill with fans all four days, so book rooms early and ask for private or semi-private dining for client dinners.
Link light rail from the airport to Westlake Station takes about 40 minutes and avoids show-week traffic near the convention centre.
