ABOUT THE CHARLOTTE
CONVENTION CENTER
...........................
The Charlotte
Convention Center opened in 1995 as the perfect venue for conventions, trade
shows, banquets and theater-style conferences, attracting more than half a
million visitors each year. From its gracefully arched entrances to the
glass concourses beyond, the Center was designed to be elegant and inviting.
Flanked by art and spacious alcoves, the grand concourse welcomes visitors
and provides easy orientation and access to all points in the Convention
Center. Soaring ceilings add volume to the 280,000 square feet of contiguous
exhibit space, which accommodates general session setups and up to 1,250
exhibit booths. This space may be sectioned into four halls with separate
loading entrances for simultaneous shows. Twenty covered loading docks and
direct drive-in access to each hall makes setup easy and efficient.
The Convention Center's ballroom spans 35,000 square feet with banquet
seating for up to 1,800 guests. Pre-function areas extend the ballroom space
by 15,000 square feet. More than 90,000 square feet of flexible
meeting space (46
meeting rooms) feature centralized audio recording and separate controls for
podiums and lights. In addition, the Business Center is equipped to support
any business transaction needed to keep convention operations running
smoothly.
CHARLOTTE
Named in honor of Britain's Queen Charlotte, this "Queen City" was home to
America's first gold rush. It is believed that some of the passed-over ore
was used to pave the main streets of downtown Charlotte, foretelling
Charlotte's future as a global financial hub. Drive along Charlotte's
tree-lined streets on your way to any of a myriad of entertainment and
cultural offerings in this center of the New South.
The Charlotte
Auditorium-Coliseum-Convention Center Authority (ACCCA) has managed
Charlotte's publicly owned event facilities for more than fifty years,
attracting approximately 2.8 million people annually for major sports
events, top-notch entertainment and momentous conferences. Today, these
facilities include the Charlotte Coliseum, Charlotte Convention Center,
Cricket Arena and Ovens Auditorium.
The ACCCA Board is composed of nine members, five of which are appointed by
the Charlotte City Council, one representative is appointed from surrounding
small towns, two are appointed by the Mayor with an additional Mayoral
appointment to represent the hospitality industry. ACCCA board members, who
receive no compensation, are charged with operating the facilities in a
proper, efficient, economical and business-like manner. Each member serves a
three-year term and can serve a second consecutive term if chosen to do so
by the Mayor or City Council. The Authority makes all regulations necessary
for the proper operation, maintenance and development of the facilities and
appoints managers who are responsible for day-to-day management.
