Virginia Beach Convention Center

The Virginia Beach Convention Center sits minutes from the Oceanfront district, offering more than 250,000 square feet of programmable event space across four exhibit halls, three ballrooms, five meeting suites, and a 147-foot glass tower with a café lounge, board room, VIP lounge, and observation deck. The exhibit halls can be combined into a single 150,012-square-foot floor, while Ballrooms One through Three join into a 31,029-square-foot space suited to galas and large banquets. The center was the first convention center in the United States to earn LEED Gold certification for an existing building, and it has been recognized among the best venues by the International Live Events Association. Sustainability carries through daily operations, from motion-sensor lighting and low-flow fixtures to an onsite garden that has supplied seasonal produce for the venue's catering since 2008. Sodexo Live! serves as the exclusive onsite caterer, led by Executive Chef Desiree Neal, providing full catering and bar service for conventions, banquets, and receptions. The venue also offers free Wi-Fi throughout and more than 1,300 self-parking spaces, with additional lots nearby.
