Greater Richmond Convention Center
The sheer size and central location of the Greater Richmond Convention Center make it one of the most desirable meeting destinations in the Mid-Atlantic region. Situated in the heart of Virginia's capital city, just minutes from Richmond International Airport, the enormous 700,000-square-foot facility sits on 5 and 1/2 city blocks. Interior accommodations include 178,159 square feet of exhibit space, 32 meeting rooms and the 30,550-square foot Grand Ballroom.
Parking is made easy thanks to adjoining decks that can handle 1,540 vehicles. Nearly 4,600 additional spaces are located within a six-block radius of the site. The Richmond Marriott rests adjacent to the Center while a plethora of 3 to 5 star accommodations are within easy reach.
Nearby attractions include The Diamond, a venue that hosts professional and collegiate baseball; the Virginia State Capitol Building; and the Richmond Coliseum, home to minor league hockey and various concerts.
Greater Richmond Convention Center Authority
The Greater Richmond Convention Center was built as a result of regional cooperation between the City of Richmond and the surrounding counties of Henrico, Chesterfield and Hanover. The Greater Richmond Convention Center is owned by the Greater Richmond Convention Center Authority, which is composed of these governmental entities and the Retail Merchants Association of Greater Richmond.
