More than one million convention attendees walk the palm tree-lined path to enter the beautiful, glass-paneled Anaheim Convention Center each year. The Anaheim Convention Center (ACC) is the largest convention center on the West Coast, as has recently become the first convention center on the West Coast to offer free Wi-Fi throughout the entire center. The center is the cornerstone of the Anaheim Resort District, a 1,100-acre walkable campus-like area home to a variety of hotels, attractions, restaurants – as well as the world-famous Disneyland® Resort. The largest facility of its kind on the West Coast, Anaheim Convention Center totals 1.6 million square feet, offering 813,000 square feet of exhibit space, 152,000 square feet of meeting space, 51 meeting rooms, a 38,000-square-foot main ballroom and 176,000 square feet of pre-function and lobby space. The center’s modern, light-filled interior is thanks to the sweeping wave-shaped wall of glass that spans the entire length of the building, enabling perfect views of the Anaheim Resort District. The ACC is within walking distance of more than 4,000 hotel rooms. Among the largest properties with meeting space in the convention center area include the 1,572-room Hilton Anaheim, which is adjacent to the convention center and offers several meeting rooms totaling 100,000 square feet. The 1,030-room Anaheim Marriott, also adjacent to the convention center, offers 82,000 square feet of meeting space. Amenities at the Anaheim Convention Center are plentiful, as the center offers wall-to-wall wifi capabilities, catering by ARAMARK and a full suite of sustainable and green practices, including recycling and water and energy conservation efforts. In fact, the center’s lighting is supported by solar panels on the roof. The on-site World Trade Business Center offers Internet access, copying, printing, binding, poster and sign creation, shipping and workstation rental services. Plenty of lot parking surrounds the center, as well as the Anaheim Resort District as a whole. The center’s 28,000-square-foot Arena, which seats 7,500 people, completed an extensive renovation, which included the addition of a new ceiling and roof, new outdoor space and interior updates.
