Get your guests out of the boardroom and into the sunshine. In Rancho Cordova, meetings don’t feel boxed in.
Just minutes from Sacramento and set along the scenic American River, Rancho Cordova blends Northern California beauty with planner-friendly convenience. Sparkling waterways, welcoming hotels, and unique venues create a destination where work and adventure go hand in hand.

A Destination With Personality
Host outdoor sessions and enjoy expert-led classes on the 50-plus sprawling acres of Soil Born Farms. Reserve vibrant conference rooms at Frequency Coworking & Events for motivational, urban flair. Book Sac State Aquatic Center’s upstairs deck overlooking the glassy waves of Lake Natoma for a scenic networking mixer.
Miles of trails along the American River Parkway give attendees space to breathe, recharge, and enjoy fresh air between sessions. And when the agenda wraps, Rancho Cordova brings more fun! Quirky attractions, craft brews in the Barrel District, lively community events, and welcoming locally owed spots make it easy to build play into your schedule.
Even better? Planning here means you get custom-tailored service from small teams and vendors who really care about you.

Need another reason to book? Check out this rave review from Rachel Smith and Ashley Rastad, co-founders of the California Mermaid Convention, which has doubled event attendance since working with Visit Rancho Cordova: “Visit Rancho Cordova aligns with our event values and ethics and has kept us on track and growing for many years! They worked with our schedule and were able to make sure we were all on the same page from start to finish. Partnering with a name like Visit Rancho Cordova assisted us with hotels, finding sponsors, food connections, and added validity to our very offbeat event. We feel more deeply connected to the city and like doors are open for us that would not have been without the guidance of the team!”
