Three City Collective
It's never been easier to take your attendees from coast to coast.
Since 2004, VISIT Milwaukee, VisitPITTSBURGH and Travel Portland have partnered to save you time and money. First known as the Three-City Alliance and since rebranded as the Three City Collective, the program offers financial incentives and coordinated planning of the three sales and service teams. This results in seamless efficiency and exceptional service to our clients.
The collective is based on our shared vision and commitment to provide the best convention product. Milwaukee, Pittsburgh and Portland share a number of qualities, including convention center size, sufficient number of hotels to house 1,100 to 1,500 on a peak night, range of convention services offered, and even proximity to rivers or lakes.
