Convention Center District of The Palm Beaches
Welcome to the District
Downtown West Palm Beach has a style and rhythm all its own. The first thing you notice are scenic waterfront vistas of Lake Worth Lagoon and the Intracoastal Waterway.
Centrally located in the heart of the downtown district and just 3 miles from Palm Beach International Airport, the Palm Beach County Convention Center is an ideal venue. The 350,000-square-foot multipurpose facility features a 100,000-square-foot exhibit hall, a 22,000-square-foot ballroom, 21,000 square feet of flexible breakout space capable of dividing into 19 rooms and a 10,000-square-foot balcony overlooking West Palm Beach — the perfect area for a pre-function cocktail reception. And coming soon, an exciting new experience is being planned for the Convention Center that will make your event "sun"-sational!

Client Testimonials
"Just wanted you to know that I received the most positive feedback from Uniform Retailers Association attendees and exhibitors that I have ever had. You were right about The Palm Beaches-it proved to be an incredible site for our 10th Anniversary! Both the Hyatt, Hilton and Convention Centers and their staffs and the close proximity of shopping, dining and entertainment options combined to make a perfect show experience for all who attended. How much easier it would be for us planning our events if all venues were like yours! Thanks again for all your help!"
- Melanie Imlay, Uniform Retailers Association
"Palm Beach, FL proved to be an outstanding destination for our annual Maintenance Conference resulting in the largest number of attendees and exhibit booths to date. The on-site experience in the Convention Center was top-notch and our attendees enjoyed the close proximity of restaurants and other activities where they could continue networking outside of show hours, while enjoying all that Palm Beach has to offer. Before the end of the conference, they were asking when we can come back to Palm Beach."
- Mike Nichols, National Business Aviation Association, Inc
"What an amazing experience you put together for the team. We so appreciate the hard work and coordination that went into bringing us all down and planning out the ideal tour for the team. It was just the perfect amount of work and play and hotels that really fit our client’s needs. It was fun getting to know this gem, which definitely needs more promotion. The varied hotels, easy lift and transfer time, in my opinion, make this destination far more desirable than Ft Lauderdale or Miami. You have our vote and we will do our very best to educate our clients and hopefully bring more business your way."

"West Palm Beach proved to be an excellent destination for the AHS Annual Meeting. The Palm Beach County Convention Center had more than ample meeting and exhibit space and provided an ideal environment for our large technical meeting and technology display. The experience staffs of Discover the Palm Beaches Destination Services and partnering hotels all worked in concert to accommodate our complex housing and event shuttle requirements. We could not have been more pleased with the close proximity to CityPlace and the many restaurants and shops serving the entertainment district. Meeting attendees overwhelmingly enjoyed their visit."
