| - Man, Oh Man I forgot how huge the Charlotte Convention Center is!
This past weekend I had the pleasure of spending nearly every waking moment of my day inside the Convention Center. Upon my arrival the convention center was playing host to 3 major event; the National Convention for NACA and 300+ universities nationwide, an International Motorcycle show in addition to the CIAA basketball tourney meetings/conferences. The convention center is so large that the only time I interacted with persons from these other events was in passing or riding one of the numerous escalators.
Inside the conference rooms, meeting halls and exhibit spaces the Convention center staff did a phenomenal job creating an environment that logically flowed from one space to the next, and stationed themselves along the hallways and across all levels of the convention center to ensure that no was were to get lost. And if lost, all one had to do was simply ask a staff for a little guidance and would be immediately assisted with superior customer service.
I digress, let's get back to the sheer size of this place. According to the Convention Center website there is 280,000 sq. ft. of exhibit space, 850,000 sq. ft. of state-of-the-art features and award winning amenities, More than 90,000 sq. ft.of flexible meeting space, 35,000 sq. ft. Convention Center Ballroom, 40,000 sq. ft. Crown Ballroom and a Full service in-house catering. I'm sorry but that is ALOT going on under one roof. Imagine what you could do with all of that space, amenities, and friendly staff! The possibilities are truly endless. With all that being said if you need a GIGANTIC space for any known reason under the sun, pick the Charlotte Convention Center! You'll thank yourself later ;)
P.S. If you get hungry for a little snack the convention center is also home to an inhouse Bojangles', Buon Cibo, and Einstein Bros. Bagels.
