This is a beautiful place. It is easy to get to and it has a ton of options for parking since it sits right in the center of all the parking decks for the city and county buildings down town. Bathrooms were pretty clean for the amount of people that were there. I would recommend this place to someone else in need of this kind of space.

First trip there, but so far seems to be a nice large event center. Everyone I encountered on their staff was courteous and helpful. Google maps took me to their outside parking lot that filled very quickly, luckily a person in a car ahead of me knew how to get to the parking garage so it all worked out.

Staff were always located in strategic positions in the conference center if we had a facilities question that went beyond that of our own conference organizers. They were friendly and helpful, and regularly took care of the details of emptying trash, cleaning and restocking bathrooms, as well as a few food service tasks.

Was here for a conference. Nice place. Great parking. Good places to eat near but they need to plan ahead for rush of people.

What a great space. Very clean. Easy to get around. Handicap accessible. I'm looking forward to 3 days of conference!

My family and I were here for a dance competition. The center was so nice. The table outside were full with people enjoying the sunshine. The natural light throughout the building is so nice.

Very large and nice and modern place to host an event. Was here for a high school career fair and a lunch/awards ceremony after.Very clean, capable staff, great food.

Lovely center. Clean and well kept. Food service is not veg friendly, but Omar,of food services went out of his way to see that I had something to eat and it was delicious. Thank you Omar!
