Huntington Convention Center of Cleveland:
Welcome to our Center, we can’t wait to meet you!
Managed by ASM Global, the Huntington Convention Center of Cleveland provides over 500,000 square feet of prime meeting and event space, which includes 225,000 sq. ft of Exhibit Hall space, two ballrooms, and 50+ breakout rooms. Our Center is connected to the 600-room Hilton Cleveland Downtown and Cleveland Public Auditorium and Conference Center which features a 10,000 seat stadium-style auditorium.
The Huntington Convention Center of Cleveland is a convention center located in downtown Cleveland, Ohio, in the United States. Built by Cuyahoga County, Ohio, beneath the Cleveland Mall, it opened on June 7, 2013. The older Cleveland Convention Center, built in 1964, was demolished to make way for the new structure.
By 1996, the Cleveland Convention Center was losing business to other cities. Potential users felt it was too dimly lit, the ceilings were too low, there were not enough meeting rooms, and the facility felt old. In September of that year, the Cleveland Convention and Visitors’ Bureau (CCVB) issued a report calling for a new convention center, one nearly 60 percent larger and with five times as much meeting room space. This plan set in motion 13 years of discussion, planning, and voter initiatives to build a new convention center. These efforts proved fruitful in 2009, when Cuyahoga County signed an agreement with the city of Cleveland on May 4 to purchase the existing convention center for $20 million. The deal called for cutting Public Auditorium off from the convention center, so it would stand on its own again.
Plans for the new convention center were approved by city planning officials in October 2010, and demolition of the old convention center began on January 13, 2011.
The new convention center opened on June 7, 2013.
