Winter Meetings, Boise Style
When you think of winter, conferences may not be the first thing that comes to mind. But colder days and shorter sunlight hours naturally bring people indoors—and as the year winds down, they’re more reflective. In other words, it’s the perfect time for an inspiring meeting or conference.
When choosing a winter location, you want plenty of indoor space, easy access to restaurants and attractions, and a touch of seasonal charm. As an award-winning event destination surrounded by mountain beauty, Boise delivers all three.
Submit your RFP now and let Visit Boise help you plan a winter meeting your attendees will never forget.
Venues That Shine Even in Winter
For a winter meeting, Boise Centre has you covered—literally. With 31 rooms and 86,000 square feet of flexible meeting space, it’s the perfect spot for a winter conference in downtown Boise, just steps from hotels, restaurants, and nightlife.
Looking for something more unconventional? JUMP (Jack’s Urban Meeting Place) offers a playful, creative atmosphere with spaces like a makers studio, an improv theatre, a rooftop terrace, and even an outdoor area with vintage tractors. Designed to spark collaboration and innovation, JUMP inspires fresh ideas and real connection.
For a historic setting, try the Boise Depot: a restored Spanish-style train station with a soaring great hall, city views, and a 1925 box office that doubles as a bar.
For an artistic vibe, host your gathering at one of Boise’s many art galleries, perfect for creative meetups, conventions, or networking events.

Dining and Local Flavor for Groups
Boise’s culinary scene serves up something special in every season. Whether you’re in the mood for a cozy café, a lively brewery, or a relaxing farm-to-table restaurant, you’ll find it in Boise’s walkable downtown.
Before morning meetings, attendees can grab a local coffee nearby. After a productive day, they can unwind over craft beer, rooftop cocktails, or award-winning cuisine. Whatever your guests’ tastes, Boise delivers great flavor on every corner.

Winter Team Activities and Local Events
When snow starts to fall, Boise transforms into a winter wonderland. Bogus Basin, just 30 minutes from downtown, is a local favorite for skiing, snowshoeing, and snow tubing. Encourage attendees to hit the slopes after morning workshops, or add an optional snowshoeing excursion to your itinerary.
In December, the Idaho Botanical Garden lights up with dazzling holiday displays, while downtown Boise sparkles with ice-skating rinks and festive markets. Sip hot cocoa, browse one-of-a-kind gifts, or take a spin on the ice. In Boise, the holiday spirit is alive and well.
Tell us your team’s vibe and we’ll create a custom winter activity list when you submit your RFP.
