More than 14,000 hotel rooms and hundreds of restaurants, shops, historical attractions, and cultural institutions are within walking distance of the Center.
The Pennsylvania Convention Center opened its doors in 1993 and underwent a substantial expansion that was completed in 2011. Today, the Center consists of more than 2 million square feet of space, including seven exhibit halls totaling 679,000 square feet of exhibit space – of which 528,000 square feet is contiguous exhibit space.
In addition, the Center boasts more than 82 meeting rooms that can be set in banquet, classroom, or theater seating and one of the largest ballrooms in the Northeast, equivalent to the size of a football field.
