Florida Conference Facilities

The award-winning Greater Ft. Lauderdale/Broward County Convention Center is America’s premiere conference facility. The 600,000 square foot center is architecturally designed to take advantage of our waterfront setting, highlighted by a wall of glass that runs along the entire eastern side of the building.  The centerpiece is a three-level glass atrium with a skylight that provides abundant natural light and looks out on a 1.3 acre fountain plaza, all while taking in the scenic Intracoastal Waterway.  Our meeting facilities are the perfect place to host any type of event.

The size and layout of the Florida conference center make it possible to host multiple clients at the same time or to dedicate our entire square footage to one large event.  Our flexible space consists of four exhibit halls, 2 ballrooms and 31 meeting rooms that can be configured in a variety of ways to meet the needs of any group.  A 2,500-space parking garage is connected to the center via two enclosed, air-conditioned skywalks, located at the north and south ends of the building.

Location is still another reason why you should choose the Fort Lauderdale Convention Center as the site for your corporate events.  The building is a 5-minute drive from the airport, close to Port Everglades and is within walking distance to some of Fort Lauderdale’s most beautiful hotels.  Some of the activities you can enjoy during your free time while attending an event at the convention center include golf and water sports.  Or, you can “cruise” the area via the unique Water Taxi as it takes you around the many canals, creeks and rivers that make up the Intracoastal Waterway, with stops along the way.  Best of all, the city’s most famous natural attraction, its Blue Wave beach, is less than 1 mile away from the center.  Add all of this to Fort Lauderdale’s gorgeous year-round weather and you have the ideal conference facilities.
