Waterfront views, modern spaces, and easy access to hotels and attractions make the Broward County Convention Center a standout meeting venue in Greater Fort Lauderdale.
As the meetings industry shifts into fall planning mode, expectations for large-scale events continue to evolve. Today’s attendees want more than convention halls and breakout rooms — they want destinations that feel immersive, accessible, and memorable.
Greater Fort Lauderdale is answering that demand with a model that blends convention-scale infrastructure with a highly walkable, waterfront experience.
At the center is the newly expanded Broward County Convention Center, a 1.2 million-square-foot facility designed to accommodate major events while maintaining a seamless attendee experience.
With 350,000 square feet of contiguous exhibit space, five ballrooms, and direct connectivity to the 801-room Omni Fort Lauderdale headquarters hotel, planners gain the scale necessary for large conventions without sacrificing convenience.
What truly differentiates the destination, however, is what surrounds the venue. Attendees can walk to hotels, gather in outdoor public spaces, enjoy waterfront dining, explore beaches, or board a Water Taxi to continue conversations beyond the convention center walls.
By combining that ease of access and atmosphere with a substantial meeting capacity, Greater Fort Lauderdale provides a balanced event experience, one where attendees remain engaged, logistics remain simple, and networking happens naturally.
For organizations seeking a modern approach to large-scale meetings, Greater Fort Lauderdale offers a compelling blueprint: big-city capabilities, waterfront energy, and a setting designed to keep people connected.
