Destination Cleveland Annual Meeting

Destination Cleveland’s community-powered Brag Movement makes it easy, fun and rewarding for Clevelanders to talk proudly about their city. By pressing the new Brag Button at events or engaging the new Brag Coach on ThisisCleveland.com, residents are joining an effort to amplify Cleveland’s story. The result: authentic recommendations that showcase the places, experiences and pride that set The Land apart and entice family and friends to visit.

Development across Cleveland is accelerating. Billions of dollars in project investment are reshaping the city’s landscape. Maximizing impact of these investments relies on residents and visitors experiencing them firsthand. Destination Cleveland is helping to connect this development to the broader story of Cleveland – extending the impact and supporting long-term momentum.

What makes a visitor decide to call Cleveland home? Meet the people who came to explore The Land — and never looked back. From weekend trips to permanent moves, these transplants share how Cleveland exceeded expectations and became the place they chose to build a life. Real stories. Real people. Real Cleveland.
