TESTIMONIALS

From booking to planning to execution, the process of working with the Santa Fe Community Convention Center was remarkably easy and efficient. We've been hosting events for 30 years, and it's not often we find an entire crew of people (in all departments) who are all so genuinely dedicated to making the customer happy. Our event was a huge success, and the staff at SFCCC was instrumental in helping us achieve that.

I want to thank you and your team for the recent opportunity to study Santa Fe up close. For me and several in our group, it was the first-ever visit to your city.

First, I want to congratulate and thank your entire team: April Gallegos, Kim Harmon, and Justin Cox were each incredibly knowledgeable and supportive during the tour. They were the perfect hosts, guides, and ambassadors to the city and its venues.

Second, I want to thank the mayor for speaking with us at the convention center, and the leadership and staff of each of the hotels, restaurants, museums, galleries, sites, and attractions we visited. I was surprised with how much ground we covered, how much there is to see and do, the variety of places a group can stay.

Going into this tour, the largest barrier in my mind was the distance from Albuquerque -
- but now that I've made the trip, I would much rather move quickly through gorgeous country than crawl through traffic in a larger city.

If one of the purposes of the trip was to create new, informed friends among meeting planners for Santa Fe, I would say you and your team have succeeded. I would be happy to be a reference, share my experience, or help in any way you might need in the future, and of course, look for opportunities to come back.

On behalf of the National Neurotrauma Society, I wanted to thank you for providing excellent service at the National Neurotrauma Symposium. Your staff was extremely helpful in making sure the rooms were ready for our event. The staff was available for any issues that we may have had during the meeting. We were extremely pleased that we chose the Santa Fe Convention Center for our annual symposium.

Our organization has been meeting in Santa Fe since the late 1980s. Whether we are bring 100 people or more than a thousand, our members love it. Fifteen or more hotels within easy walking distance of the convention center, many different price points, mostly pet friendly, and each with a unique character. You can’t find a wider variety of choice in any cityǃ Tourism Santa Fe is a pleasure to work with. They know the ins and outs of sleeping rooms, event spaces, and all the fun stuff to do, they have great connections with all the properties, and they can help you find just want you want. The art, restaurants, local flavor, and an outdoor mecca, is a huge draw to both our domestic and global membership – everyone has heard of Santa Fe.  Only an hour away from a major airport (Albuquerque), it’s an easy drive up the interstate, and Santa Fe’s own regional airport is sweet – no lines, and direct flights from Denver, Dallas, and Phoenix.  We love Santa Fe, its people, its charm, and its hospitality. It is always the biggest draw for our annual conferences.

The entire staff at the SFCCC is by far the best team I have worked with during my 13 years in the conference business. The sales team is professional and does all they can do to meet our needs. The account representatives assigned to our group over the years is always responsive and starts with Yes as their answer to our many and varied questions. The on-site crew is dependable and timely in our requests from the hundreds of attendees we interact with during our conferences. I can whole-heartedly recommend the SFCCC for your next event.

This is a beautiful facility, the location is ideal for great hotels and restaurants, many audio visual features are built in, and the staff was a great help in set-up and during the event.  We hope to host our annual event here for years to come.
