Another year is coming is coming to an end and we're so grateful to the people who have helped make it special. 2018 was an incredible year filled with beautiful and festive weddings, reunions, fundraisers, galas, conventions, a TEDx event and more! We're also grateful for the opportunities we have had to help engage with and support the Salem, Oregon community. As 2018 comes to a close, we'd like to take a look back at some of our favorite moments this year. From all of us at The Salem Convention Center, thank you for making our 2018 amazing. We wish you a very happy and successful year! We look forward to serving you in 2019. Great shot by @kmoostudios . Welcome to the @salemconventioncenter #tedxsalem attendees!
