🌟 Why Meeting Planners Love Providence, RI 🌟 We’re thrilled to share this amazing testimonial from a recent event planner who brought a group of 1,500 attendees to Providence: "If you're searching for the perfect conference destination with a built-in support team that truly makes your job easier, look no further than Providence, Rhode Island." At GoProvidence, we strive to provide not just a venue but a comprehensive support system for every event. We’re so proud to hear that our event space and surrounding hotels "exceeded expectations," and that our team made such a positive impact. The planner shared, "I have never felt as supported as I did in Providence." From our sales and convention services managers to our hotel partners, everyone worked together to ensure the event was both well-planned and memorable. The planner also highlighted the personal connections made during their event, saying, "Their dedication and hospitality added a personal touch to our experience, making it one of the most successful events we've ever held." We’re honored to have been a part of their success. Providence is more than just a place to meet—it's a community ready to support and elevate your event. We’re grateful for the kind words and can’t wait to welcome more groups to experience our exceptional service. #MeetInProvidence #RICC #EventPlanning #ConferenceSuccess #MeetingProfs #EventProfs

🌟 Giving Back to Our Community with We Share Hope! 🌟 Our team at GoProvidence recently had the privilege of volunteering with We Share Hope, a remarkable organization dedicated to providing food and necessities to those who need it most in Rhode Island. Comprised of three impactful initiatives, We Share Hope has grown from a two-person operation to a robust organization with over 100 volunteers. Their mission is driven by compassion and community support, ensuring that food and supplies reach those in need through: HOPE ON THE RHODE: Delivering food five days a week to non-profits across Rhode Island. FEED THE FUTURE: Stocking food pantries in high-need schools, ensuring children have access to meals during nights, weekends, and holidays. HOPE MARKET: Operating a budget-friendly marketplace in Rumford where anyone can obtain essential goods. We had the honor of working with Lynn Page, their Development Manager, who helped coordinate our efforts. It was a rewarding experience, and we are proud to support such a vital cause. Thank you to all our team members who participated, and a huge shoutout to We Share Hope for the incredible work you do! #CommunitySupport #Volunteering #WeShareHope #GoProvidence #FoodRescue #GivingBack
