The Los Angeles Convention Center is a prime location for your convention, conference, trade show, or retreat.  Just look at the schedule for March 2010!

The many exhibit halls are huge and many, as are the meeting spaces. Whether your group is large, small, or in between, the Los Angeles Convention Center is the ideal venue.

As far as overnight accommodations for your attendees and yourselves, The Los Angeles Convention Center is  close to many excellent hotels.

The convention center proves pretty much any kind of service your function might require or request, including internet connections, furniture, tables for trade shows, audio-visual equipment, etc.

From the Los Angeles Convention Center’s website, here is a list of contact information for you:

is a masterpiece of construction.

The Cobo Convention Center sits in the heart of a downtown that has undergone a tremendous transformation over the years. Cobo Center prides itself on its flexibility to host a wide variety of conferences, conventions and fairs.

Flanked by a fabulous international riverfront, Cobo Center is positioned in close proximity to several restaurants, bars and pubs, as well as six new hotels including three Las Vegas-style casinos. Our elegant banquet rooms and over 80 meeting rooms totaling 178,446 square feet equip Cobo Center to accommodate capacities from 30 to 10,000. Cobo Center also boasts one of the largest contiguous exhibit floor space in North America.

These are exciting times the Cobo Convention Center. The center will soon undergo a $278 million upgrade that will transform Cobo into the state-of-the-art facility that your organization will enjoy for years to come. This investment was made possible through a partnership that includes the City of Detroit, the state of Michigan, and the counties of Wayne, Oakland and Macomb. It is a great example of Michigan’s southeast region coming together to serve Cobo’s clients.

No matter what your conference/convention/corporate retreat/meeting/trade show/reunion needs might be, Cobo Center can supply them.

After hours, your attendees can find almost anything they want to do with in a short driving distance.  Detroit is a beautiful city, and there is much more here than the auto industry!

The beautiful Austin Convention Center is a busy place, and there’s a good reason for that.

The Austin Convention Center is a busy place because it has such awesome facilities for any kind of convention, conference, trade show, corporate retreat, reunion, reception, along with plenty of handy parking, more-than-enough electrical outlets, reliable internet access, and, and, and, well, what else could anyone need for a meetup?

In fact, RIGHT NOW, the Austin Convention Center is hosting the huge and diverse South by Southwest Conference (SXSW) and is being featured on Twitter, etc, possibly more than any other keyword this weekend.           

Just understanding the complexity of this particular conference will help you understand the diversity of the Austin Convention Center; it is quite capable of handling thousands of techies, musicians, bands, bloggers, podcasters, speakers, and hands-on “stuff” of every conceivable kind, without batting an eyelash.  I’ve heard, too, that “things” are going quite smoothly in Austin, which is also an excellent advertisement for the conference center.

If you are interested in having your next conference/convention/retreat/trade show, etc, in a beautiful city with an enviable climate, in a venue that will turn itself inside out to accommodate your any and every need, you might want to consider the Austin Convention Center.
