I've been to the convention center for several events such as the Pet Expo, Hand Made Arcade, and Farm to Table. Every event that I have been to has had a nice presence of security who keep event goers safe and moving along. They also answer about a million questions. The event spaces are always clean-including the restrooms. That can be a tough thing with so many event goers. There are two sides to enter into. You have two escalators or an elevator to take you to the main floor. There is a HUGE lobby with lots of windows. You have a great view of the city. The convention center sits river side so you can watch the boats. If you are a group of 2 or 200 you should have no problem maneuvering through the event Center.
