The Broward County Convention Center in the United States is located in Fort Lauderdale, a premier waterfront convention facility with a total floor area of 66,000 square meters.

The Broward County Convention Center features architectural design that capitalizes on its prime location, situated on a 17-acre site adjacent to Fort Lauderdale’s prized intracoastal waterway. A 2,500-space parking garage is connected to the center via two enclosed, air-conditioned skybridges. The facility is just a five-minute drive from the airport, within walking distance of numerous local hotels, and less than one mile from Fort Lauderdale’s renowned Blue Lagoon Beach. With its year-round pleasant climate, Fort Lauderdale provides an ideal setting for your next convention, conference, trade show, or event.
