Guide to Mid-Size Convention Centers

For mid-size shows, there are plenty of options when it comes to site selection — from traditional convention centers and exhibit halls to hotels and sporting facilities. You can fit in just about any facility in the country — if you’re willing to consider all your options. Not to mention all of the larger facilities that may be able to accommodate your event if the timing is right. The key: You have to be flexible and open.
To help narrow your search, EXPO provides a list of convention centers and hotels in the United States that offer 100,000 to 350,000 square feet of combined exhibit and meeting space. According to EXPO research, there are 131 facilities in this category, with at least one mid-size center in each of 41 states, plus the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.
