PROSPECTUSNational Homeland Security Conference 2019June 17-20, 2019 | Phoenix Convention Center | Phoenix, AZ

With 325 days of sunshine, the nation’s 5th largest city is an amazing place to visit, live, work and play. Downtown Phoenix has evolved tremendously in the past 5 years, with more than $4 billion invested in restaurants, shopping, office space and great hotels. Don’t forget the expanded Phoenix Convention Center, your headquarters for the #NHSC2019 conference.

Sports: From the conference, you’re a 5-minute walk from the front gate of an MLB, WNBA, or arena football game in June.

Outdoors: Did you know Phoenix was named one of National Geographic’s Best U.S.Hiking cities? Early risers should check out some trails in the morning or one of the city’s nearly 200 golf courses. Hike responsibly.

Dining & Nightlife: Just steps from the conference, are hundreds of unique restaurants and bars. Some one-of-a-kind gems have been featured on national food shows. At the end of your day, kick back and enjoy the live music scene or a comedy show in downtown.

Arts & Attractions: Whether it’s the Phoenix Art Museum, Heard Museum, Desert Botanical Garden, or catching a musical, Phoenix is a hub for some of the best attractions in the southwest. In downtown, enjoy the classics at Symphony Hall, the rich history of the Orpheum Theatre, or perhaps a concert at Talking Stick Resort Arena or Comerica Theatre.

Where to Stay: There are more than 3,000 hotel rooms in downtown Phoenix within walking distance from the Phoenix Convention Center. And there are more than 6,000 hotel rooms located along the light rail system. Don’t forget to ask about the day spa!

Explore AZ: Bustling city or silent mountains? Warm desert or cooler air in the pines? In Arizona, the choice is yours – and nowhere else will you find so much to choose from. With dozens of national and state parks – including the Grand Canyon and Kartchner Caverns and hundreds of towns and cities, Arizona’s landscape is as diverse as it is beautiful.

Family Vacation: Looking to bring the family for a summer trip while you’re at the conference? In downtown Phoenix, there’s plenty for the little ones to discover including the Children’s Museum, Arizona Science Center, or the Great Arizona Puppet Theatre. The Phoenix Zoo is just 8 miles away. Or, enjoy a day splashing in the pool!

WHAT TO DO

PHOENIX IS THE CITY THAT HAS IT ALL!

The conference is just 4 miles from Sky Harbor International Airport. From there, you can hop on the Light Rail which travels across 26 miles. It’ll get you to the conference in downtown quickly, where you can walk to several destinations. Or, hop on a GRID Bike, pedicab, or flag a taxi.

RULES AND REGULATIONS 1. The Organizer - The National Homeland Security Association, Inc. “NHSA” is the official and only “Organizer” of the annual National Homeland Security Conference “NHSC” 2019 “NHSC2019.” The Organizer has the right to adjust content, times and dates at anytime.
