“I don’t know of another convention center that compares to ours when it comes to proximity to both air and sea traffic hubs and the convenience of surrounding amenities,” said Nicki Grossman, President and CEO of the Greater Fort Lauderdale Convention and Visitors Bureau. “We’re just a couple of minutes from Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport and adjacent to Port Everglades, the most popular cruise port in the nation. Everything a meeting planner desires is nearby.”
Situated on Fort Lauderdale’s scenic Intracoastal Waterway where majestic cruise ships create a thriving cruise industry in Port Everglades, the Convention Center is conveniently surrounded by all the exciting amenities that attract visitors from around the world to Fort Lauderdale. Some of the city’s most beautiful hotels are within walking distance of the Convention Center, including the Hilton Fort Lauderdale Marina, Renaissance Fort Lauderdale, Hyatt Place and Embassy Suites, among others. Greater Fort Lauderdale/Broward County Convention Center is the best place in Florida for events.
Fort Lauderdale’s Many Attractions
Some visitors enjoy being close to downtown Fort Lauderdale with its Riverwalk Arts and Entertainment district and exciting variety of restaurants, from casual bistros and ethnic eateries to fine dining establishments. Visitors meander along Riverwalk, the brick-lined promenade that leads to cultural attractions including the Broward Center of the Performing Arts and the Museum of Art, or hop the water taxi that ferries them to Fort Lauderdale’s attractions, shops, parks and restaurants.
For those who love outdoor activities in Fort Lauderdale’s glorious year-round weather, there are many ways to play in the city known as the “Venice of America.” Nearby charter boats are available for fishing, diving, parasailing and other water sports. Tournament-quality tennis courts and golf courses are just minutes away. Nature lovers can take airboat rides through the Everglades, Florida’s famed “River of Grass.” And for simple rest and relaxation, you can’t beat Broward County’s miles of unspoiled Blue Wave beaches.
