Fort Lauderdale Travel and Things to Do Guide
Welcome to the Cvent Fort Lauderdale meeting planning guide, where you can find hotels, restaurants, and other meeting space and a wealth of Greater Fort Lauderdale meeting planning information. With year-round sunshine and a fresh sophisticated vibe, it is no wonder that more than 10 million visitors flock to Fort Lauderdale's scenic shore each year. The city's reinvention has propelled it as a choice destination for meeting and convention groups.
Nowhere else is the self-proclaimed "beach chic" transformation more apparent than in the plethora of hotels – such as the Ritz-Carlton Fort Lauderdale, W Fort Lauderdale Hotel and Residences, Tower Fort Lauderdale and the Marriott Hollywood Beach – which have cropped throughout the area.
Beyond the hotel boom, the city's convention facilities have also been enhanced. Furthering the city's status as a rising star, a $34 million expansion was completed at the Greater Fort Lauderdale/Broward County Convention Center in 2002. The newly expanded facility is meant for large-scale Ft. Lauderdale meeting planning and offers a total of 600,000 square feet of state-of-the-art meeting and exhibit space and lavish banquet rooms.
