Most who will read this likely don't have a choice of whether to use the convention center or not, but what the heck...
PROS:
- This place is HUGE! Pretty sure they could have two massive conventions going on at the same time, and you'd never know.
- Nice views of both downtown and the river.
- Nicely equipped rooms for speaker sessions.
CONS:
- I could have worn a sweater (in July mind you) and still have been cold.
- The layout is not convenient. I felt like I walked more inside the place than my walk from my hotel about 3/4 of a mile away. They could really use a more obvious entrance that isn't on the opposite side of downtown. Thank goodness our convention had good signage inside.
Overall not great, but not bad. Could be better, but a fine place to have a conference, especially if you need a lot of space.
