How this ranking works
A city's score is the number of conferences and trade shows in our events catalog held there from 30 days ago to twelve months ahead. Our catalog is built by research and covers U.S. business, professional and trade events with a public page; it is not every event.
An event counts for an industry or job family when its catalog entry names it; events listed for every industry are not counted in a single-industry or single-function list. Only cities with at least 2 conferences are ranked. "Top-rated events" are those the catalog rates in its highest tier.
Sample bar: cities with fewer than 2 jobs are not ranked.

Our job data covers professional roles on the career sites of employers we track, so figures describe that market, not every job. Spot an error? Tell us.
