The City of Roses is moving forward, and your meeting can be part of the momentum. As Pasadena continues to recover from the recent wildfires, meetings and conventions help fuel the local economy and hospitality industry. Pasadena blends innovation, culture, and California charm in a way no other city can. With a thriving culinary scene, walkable districts, and iconic views, Pasadena is open, energized, and ready to welcome your attendees.
Located just 10 miles from Los Angeles, this charming city is near four major airports, including Bob Hope/Burbank Airport (BUR), Long Beach Airport (LBG), Ontario Intl. Airport (ONT), and of course, Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), which is a hub for several major airlines connecting passengers to more than 180 destinations worldwide. Planners can then easily get groups from the airport to Pasadena via nearby transportation services like LAX Flyaway and First Class Enterprise. This ensures effortless travel to meeting spaces, hotels, and attractions.
As a hub of innovation, Pasadena is the perfect place for meetings that inspire with the spaces to match. Outside of the 130,000-square-foot Pasadena Convention Center, venues like the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Garden provide an inspiring ecosystem for attendees, thought leaders and visionaries to collaborate, spark ideas, and get down to business.
Additionally, Pasadena offers a variety of meeting hotels, with more than 1,200 rooms just steps from the Convention Center and another 1,300 rooms a quick drive away. This allows your group to transition from convening to unwinding in no time.
