ScubaCinci Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 Apparently this will be taking place in Columbus next year - yay for us! Greater Columbus Convention Center, September 21-24, 2017 http://www.aimexpousa.com/aimexpo-moves-columbus-2017/ Quote The American International Motorcycle Expo has revealed its plan to move North America’s premier powersports trade show to a new host city in 2017, with Columbus, Ohio, set to welcome the industry next fall. The Greater Columbus Convention Center (GCCC) will open its doors to hundreds of exhibitors and thousands of dealer and consumer attendees next September 21-24, 2017 for the landmark fifth year of the event. Geographically, Columbus is ideally placed with 41 percent of both franchised and independent dealerships in the U.S. located within a 500-mile radius, including major markets like Atlanta, Charlotte, Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., St. Louis, and more. Ohio’s state capitol is also the 15th-largest city in the country, and consistently ranks among the top cities for business growth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me talk it over with the wife. Problem is no decent hotels near me. Might be better doing something at a hotel nearby. Tons downtown. There's a really nice Hampton Inn right across the street. Tons of awesome bars all within walking distance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rent us a bus to take us back and forth to the hotels. And we want Wu Tang for the band. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
what Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 The new Hilton Downtown is really nice; it's attached to the convention center via a skyway. I wouldn't recommend the Hyatt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-J700T using Tapatalk The garage on Vine Street is usually a safe bet. There's also surface parking on the north end of the convention center as well as on the south end (east on Nationwide Blvd). $10/day if it's set up as event parking.

There's a large surface lot and two garages onsite. Within a few blocks there are more lots and garages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
