About Boise
Boise, Idaho—nicknamed the “City of Trees”—is where outdoor adventure meets vibrant city life. Nestled against the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, Boise offers miles of trails, a lively downtown filled with local breweries and farm-to-table dining, and a river that literally runs through it all. Boise combines small-town charm with big-city energy. It’s a place where you can hike in the morning, sip craft coffee in the afternoon, and enjoy a sunset over the mountains by evening.
Conference Venue: Boise Centre
The Boise Centre is right in the middle of all the action in downtown Boise, making it the perfect spot to gather, connect, and explore. With wide-open views of the foothills and easy access to restaurants, shops, and nightlife just steps away, it’s more than a convention center—it’s your gateway to everything Boise has to offer. The Boise Centre sets the stage for a memorable experience in the heart of the City of Trees.
