Conference Center: St Louis vs. Collinsville

Don’t get us wrong: We love St. Louis! Many of the staff here at the Gateway conference center are big St. Louis Cardinal fans, and we consider ourselves lucky to be close enough to “the Gateway to the West” to enjoy all that St. Louis has to offer. However, we think you will find a few unique benefits when you choose to host your event on this side of the river.

For example, while a downtown conference center is near the Arch, various restaurants, Busch Stadium and other popular attractions, Gateway is away from the congestion and traffic that are also part of the downtown St. Louis experience. Not only that, but you can still go to a baseball game or take a ride up in the Arch within minutes of hopping on the interstate. Then you can return to the peace and quiet of our conference center. St. Louis venues for trade shows and other events are also limited in terms of parking. Here we provide an abundance of parking as the Gateway Center was planned to serve event planners and attendees.

Contact us to find out more or just browse the site. See the calendar to get an idea of the types of bridal shows, tradeshows, entertainment and other events that keep us busy month after month. Then book your next event with us. We look forward to seeing you here.
