The Austin Convention Center stands as a premier venue for events, strategically located across six city blocks in the bustling downtown business district.

Customer satisfaction is paramount, reflecting the center’s service-first culture, which is deeply embedded in its operations. The staff is dedicated to providing the complete Austin experience, both within the facility and the city. Managing 90 percent of its services, the center ensures a smooth guest experience, covering housekeeping, security, IT, and exhibitor services.

Technological advancements further enhance the center’s appeal, featuring Wi-Fi throughout, 24/7 network support, and innovative elements like video walls for wayfinding.

After the workday concludes, your team creates lasting memories amidst a dynamic city in the “Live Music Capital of the World®.”

 

Expansion Update

The Austin Convention Center is set to undergo a transformative $1.6 billion redevelopment, closing from April 2025 until reopening in 2029 with nearly double the current rental space. Early bookings for 2029 and beyond come with incentives, providing a chance to host events in the new, modern, sophisticated, and innovative Austin Convention Center. Adopting a vertical approach in downtown’s Central Business District, the facility, akin to the city’s live music culture, will connect with the community as an attendee and convention destination.

Currently, there are 48,000 hotel rooms citywide, with 12,000 rooms within a one-mile radius of the facility. For those eager to meet in Austin before 2029, seamless relocation options to other citywide venues, including Palmer Events Center, are available. The new and larger Austin Convention Center will be equipped with cutting-edge technology and versatile event spaces to meet all your event needs. Now and during construction, our dedicated team ensures top-notch service from venue inquiry to the final curtain call. Plan, be the first to experience it, and let us exceed your expectations.
