Large Hotel Room Demand During Meetings
During each meeting cluster, meeting guests will need roughly 500 to 1,500 hotel rooms (not cumulative) depending on the dates. The Department of State will select one Trip Hotel for a contract; some room nights will be self-pay and others paid via a master account.
Specific Venue & Event Space Requirements
Host cities must provide venues meeting detailed room and capacity requirements (examples: listening rooms for 100–1,000, bilateral boardrooms for 20, reception spaces for ~300, catering for up to 1,000). Meeting clusters require multi-week build and strike periods.
U.S. Cities Invited to Host G20 Meetings
U.S. cities may submit proposals to host one or more G20 meeting clusters. Proposals must be emailed from a verified state/territory or municipal government email as a single PDF and submitted by 5 p.m. ET on Monday, February 3, 2025.
Transportation and Airport Service Needs
Proposals must describe an international airport with frequent daily connections to Africa, Asia, Europe, and South America and list at least three charter shuttle/bus companies and three car-service providers. Cities must also identify parking and public transit options for delegates.
Security & Venue Control Requirements
The U.S. Government requires a minimum of five full days to build (setup) a venue before the first official meeting and a minimum of two full days to strike (tear down) after the last meeting. The Government must assume acquisition of the entire proposed property for security reasons and all other clients must be vacated when U.S. Government gains access.
