In February 2006 the Phoenix Civic Plaza was renamed
the Phoenix Convention Center to coincide with the Center's
major expansion project and the Center's goal of becoming
one of the top twenty convention centers in North America.
The center is located in Downtown Phoenix near Chase
Field and the U.S. Airways Center. Phoenix's Sky Harbor
Airport is less than 5 miles away. The expanded convention
center will provide a state-of-the-art venue with over
900,000 square feet of exhibition and meeting space.
This space includes 150,000 square feet of meeting rooms/breakout
space, a 312,500 square foot exhibition hall, a 190,000
square foot column-free exhibition hall, three ballrooms
and a 21,000 square foot conference center.
