The 1st Annual Gay Phoenix Forum will be held at the Central Phoenix Inn, located in the heart of downtown Phoenix, just walking distance from some of the hottest Gay Bars and Dance Clubs in Arizona. The Central Phoenix Inn & Suites was selected as the host hotel for the inaugural event because of its intimate size and prime location amid Arizona�s most hip and happening gay community known as the Central Corridor. From sun-up to sundown and well into the night, the Central Corridor district provides a truly unique urban environment, offering attendees the ability to experience and enjoy the gay-friendly lifestyle, attractions and culture that characterizes the growing downtown Phoenix area. During the event, attendees can break away to enjoy First Fridays, the largest monthly artwalk in the country, featuring over 90 arts venues all located in the downtown area. Free transportation is available and Central Phoenix Inn is conveniently located right on the artwalk Route. Plus, the Rainbows Festival, Gay and Lesbian Downtown Street Fair is also scheduled for the same weekend and will be located less than a mile away from the hotel at historic Heritage Square. In addition, the intimate size of the Central Phoenix Inn & Suites gave us the ability to buy out the entire property for our group�s exclusive use throughout the event. The hotel will be transformed for the event to showcase our sponsors and provide Gay Forum attendees with an inviting atmosphere that is both fun and conducive to networking. |
