The Anaheim Convention Center holds the title as the largest of its kind on the west coast, with over one million square feet of exhibit space and 130,000 square feet of ballroom and meeting space.
The Convention Center was originally built in 1967 and has since undergone several cosmetic renovations and seven expansions, the most recent completed in 2017. Some of the most notable updates to the Center include the Grand Plaza which added 100,000 square feet of outdoor space to be used for gatherings, dining, and concerts. The expansion completed in 2000 completely transformed the Center itself and the surrounding campus. Anaheim’s ballroom is one of the largest available at a whopping 38,058 square feet.
The Anaheim Convention Center is part of the city’s Anaheim Resort. The 1,100 acre district has been completely renovated for tourism and includes Disneyland, California Adventure, and the hotels that serve the Convention Center and amusement parks.
