“ Holding the Illinois Music Education Conference in Peoria has “
worked for ILMEA for over 30 years due, in no small part, to the “
amazing work of the Peoria Area Convention and Visitors Bureau!
No question or concern has been too great or too small, and the staff
is alway available to assist us with creative and workable solutions.
ILMEA could not produce our event without the Peoria CVB!
Darcy A. Nendza, CMP
Executive Director
Illinois Music Education Association

“ Will your event ‘Play in Peoria’? Peoria has everything your group needs.
The community’s ‘can-do’ spirit, first class hotels, a recently renovated

downtown, multi-purpose arena, a new riverfront museum and Caterpillar
Visitors Center and various dining options all within walking distance of one
another all make Peoria a winning choice for any group. Choosing Peoria to
play host to a number of our high school state finals events is one of the best
decisions we’ve ever made! So will your event ‘Play in Peoria’? It always has

and it always will!

Kurt Gibson

Assistant Executive Director
