The Center is just one mile from Interstate 95 and three miles from gorgeous beaches and blue waters. Three thousand guest rooms are within three miles, expanding to five thousand guest rooms within 5 miles. Space The Convention Center has a total of 350,000-square-feet. The 100,000-square-foot Exhibition Hall on the first level is easily divisible into two 50,000-square-foot areas, and able to handle the weight of an 18-wheeler. Over 2000 people can comfortably attend a festive banquet in the 25,000-square-foot Grand Ballroom, which has a prefunction area and outdoor Terrace. In addition, the Center boasts 23,000-square-feet of meeting rooms/breakout space.
