Planning an Event

Welcome to the Greater Richmond Convention Center. Once you have signed and returned your License Agreement and initial rental deposit, your account will be turned over to our Event Services Department. At that time, you will be assigned a personal Event Manager who will work with you in the logistical planning of your event activity. Although you may continue to have dialogue with your Sales Manager (modifying space needs, etc…), the Event Manager will be your primary point of contact with the facility, and will serve as your liaison for all facility related services.
