Albuquerque Convention Center

Albuquerque Convention Center stands downtown between the Rio Grande River and the Sandia Mountains and hosts trade shows, conventions, weddings and performances. The building has over 167,000 square feet of exhibit space, including the Northeast and Southeast Exhibit Halls, which together form 106,200 square feet of contiguous, column-free floor. A 31,000 square foot ballroom seats up to 1,800 for banquets, and 27 flexible meeting rooms range from a ten-person meeting to a breakout for 1,100. The 2,300-seat Kiva Auditorium serves general sessions and keynotes. Civic Plaza, created in 1974 for outdoor events and holding 20,000 people, is run by the convention center, which Legends Global manages. About 900 hotel rooms are a short walk away, and the Albuquerque International Sunport is a 10-minute drive. Exhibitors can download the floor plan, and an events calendar lists upcoming dates.
