Los Angeles Convention Center
The Los Angeles Convention Center attracts meetings and conventions not only for its expansive facility space but for its stunning design. Its trademark glass and steel, emerald-hued façade serves as an iconic landmark of the cityscape. Flooded with sunlight, the spacious lobbies are filled with artwork by nationally recognized names. Located in the heart of downtown, the center is within walking distance of 14,000 hotel rooms and is fewer than 20 miles from Los Angeles International Airport.

Inside, the Los Angeles Convention Center boasts 720,000 square feet of exhibit hall space, 64 meeting rooms totaling 147,000 square feet, and a 299-seat theater. The 347,000-square-foot South Hall has over 16,500 square feet of registration space, while the 210,000 square feet of exhibit space in the West Hall includes 9,230 square feet of pre-function area. Guests to the center can easily traverse between the two main halls via the two-story meeting room concourse.

The 162,000-square-foot Kentia Hall can be converted to accommodate an additional 415 spaces. The center's food and beverage department offers services such as custom menu design, full decorating services, specialty linen and more to groups of 10 to 7,000 people.

One of the most technologically advanced meeting and convention facilities in the world, the Los Angeles Convention Center offers a wide array of professional audio-visual services.

Always ahead of the curve, the Los Angeles Convention Center became the first convention center of age and size in the United States to gain certification in Leadership and Environmental Design for Existing Buildings from the U.S. Green Building Council. Green practices are in effect throughout the venue, from the use of biodegradable or compostable products in the food services department to the over 1,900 high efficiency lighting units used in the exhibit halls. The center is also the largest solar-generating convention center in North America.

Not surprisingly, the Los Angeles Convention Center is a much sought-after venue, hosting over 2.5 million visitors annually.
