Promoting Philadelphia as an inclusive destination for diverse events, conventions and visitors.
More than 30 years ago, the PHLCVB became one of the first CVBs in the country to establish a division to promote the destination as a diverse and inclusive location for meetings, events, conventions and visitors. With an engaged advisory board of 74 local business leaders from a wide range of industries, PHL Diversity leads the charge in diversity and inclusion efforts and connects meeting and convention planners with the region’s diverse business community to ensure successful events. The division also works with Philadelphia partners to attract diverse conventions to Philadelphia.
