Dayton Convention Center

Dayton Convention Center sits in downtown Dayton at 22 E. 5th Street and has been a city landmark since 1973. It offers 300,000 total square feet, including 63,000 square feet of column-free exhibit space that divides into three separate spaces, with three oversize ground-level access points. Flex Hall, also called Exhibit Hall C, doubles as a ballroom. A 654-seat theater with full production capabilities hosts general sessions and performances, meeting rooms 305 and 306 combine into one space, and a boardroom for 12 comes with Microsoft Teams Rooms. A $45M renovation updated the interiors, and an outside terrace and Elevate Cafe and Bar serve guests. Dock space is scheduled in advance with the event manager, with dock plates and pallet jacks provided, and a gated lot at the rear handles heavy move-in and move-out. Catering is exclusive to the center, and complimentary Wi-Fi covers the Level 1 lobby only. The center is owned by the Montgomery County Convention Facilities Authority and managed by ASM Global.
