ABOUT THE TAMPA
CONVENTION CENTER
...........................
The Tampa Convention
Center located directly on
the waterfront in the heart of downtown Tampa, is a beautiful facility that
includes 600,000 feet of meeting space and 2,000 feet of waterfront views.
The Center recently completed an expansion project that doubled its number
of breakout rooms to 36. The additional meeting rooms compliment the
Center's 200,000 square foot exhibit hall, and 36,000 square foot ballroom.
The Center is
conveniently located within walking distance to hotels, restaurants and
clubs. So...after a busy day of lectures, seminars or classes, attendees are
welcome to visit Ybor City, Channelside (movie theaters, restaurants, shops
and nightclubs) or the Florida Aquarium, located just a few steps away.
With our "Consider
it Done" motto, we can help you
make your next meeting the best ever! Our customer service oriented staff
is ready and willing to assist you in whatever way possible.
