With in-person events finally making a comeback, WCI and The Waterways Journal want to leverage the central location of St. Louis to maximize opportunities for Symposium attendees to once again travel and participate in a live event – it’s even underscored in the name of our venue choice: Live! By Loews.

Located in the city’s sports and entertainment mecca, Ballpark Village, across from Busch Stadium, we’ll be in the middle of the newest dining and entertainment venues in downtown St. Louis.
Opened in March 2020, Live! By Loews is sleek and stylish but with a nod to the rich history of St. Louis and its role in the origins of American baseball. One of the newest properties in the area, it’s already a premier destination for conferences and events (Winner of the 2020 ConventionSouth Readers Choice Award) |
