DOWNTOWN FUNK Less than one mile from Renasant Convention Center in downtown Memphis, you'll discover off-site venue options with an unmistakable sense of place, from open-air parties surrounded by the neon lights of Beale Street (left) to the rooftop of the historic Peabody Hotel (bottom left). Other downtown Memphis venues include indoor/outdoor social spots like Old Dominick Distillery and Wiseacre Brewing Co., FedExForum (home of the NBA Memphis Grizzlies) and the National Civil Rights Museum. ALEX SHANSKY CHECK IN, HANG OUT Downtown Memphis hotels pack everything under one roof. The world's 10th largest pyramid, Bass Pro Shops at the Pyramid (left), welcomes team-building at an underwater-themed bowling alley, reception potential on a glass observation deck overlooking the Mississippi River and, at the on-site Big Cypress Lodge, hotel rooms and meeting space. And that's just one example. Ask us which downtown hotels, including several new properties from Hilton and Hyatt, could be just right for your group. CITYWIDE HITS No matter where you want to be in Memphis, you'll find authentic off-site venues. Midtown Memphis is home to award-winning Memphis Zoo (right), perfect for private events — and close to walkable districts packed with locally owned restaurants, live music venues and nightlife. In east Memphis, consider venues such as Shelby Farms Park. As one of the largest urban parks in the country, it's prime for teambuilding with activities like zip lining, and features the new FedEx Event Center.
