Convention Center Description:
Playing up Hampton’s significance as a historic seaport, the look of the Hampton Roads Convention Center is purely nautical. Billowing canvases soar over the center’s main entrance, descending to canals of water that extend throughout the campus. The sprawling complex features 344,000 total square feet of convention and exhibit space, 35 meeting rooms with capacity for up to 14,000 delegates, a spacious 108,000-square-foot exhibit hall with oversized freight-loading doors, a grand ballroom with banquet seating for more than 2,000 and a 13,000-square-foot Conference Center within the larger venue. Convention delegates decompress on an outdoor terrace overlooking the convention center campus. The convention center also features an outdoor exhibit area, ideal for exhibiting recreational vehicles and heavy equipment.
