“Our business team has had so many successful events at the Bayfront Convention Center; from regular meetings in the small meeting rooms to theatre-style events in the Grand Ballroom to larger trade-show type events in the Great Hall! The spaces are clean, bright, and well-appointed while the food is always on-time and delicious. Between the spaces and the employees, the Bayfront Convention Center makes hosting a small or large event easy!”

“We have had our annual dog show at the Bayfront Convention Center since January 2010. The exhibitors from a plethora of states love this venue and the adjoining hotels for what they have to offer in amenities. The staff is always there to help with problem solving, addressing dog club concerns in a timely manner, and making sure all, including our precious canines, are in a safe, comfortable and secure environment at all times. Additionally, the behind the scene staff collaborate expertly to make sure club setup requests meet the expectations of the show-giving club. They dedicate their efforts to making sure your event will be a celebratory and memorable event.”
