LODGING
A stay in any of the downtown Cleveland hotels will give you easy access to all of the events of The Product Conference. There are two partner hotels offering discount blocks of rooms. There is the Downtown Cleveland Marriott at Key Center, where the conference is held. There’s also the Drury Inn, which is close to the conference location. If the discount blocks are gone, the Hyatt Regency Cleveland, housed in a landmark building known as The Arcade Cleveland, is another good choice.
Cleveland’s status as a historic immigrant city has contributed to the area’s reputation of being a melting pot of flavors.

This glorious mess melds together kielbasa, coleslaw, french fries, and barbecue sauce for a truly unique eating experience.
Cleveland’s Eastern European immigrants brought the pierogi to these parts and there is no better place to try them out than at Sokolowski’s University Inn. The corned beef sandwich is also a Cleveland staple with local favorite Slyman’s Deli getting top reviews.
