The Greater Fort Lauderdale/Broward County Convention Center is closed while a $1 billion expansion project is underway. The transformed venue will be bigger and better than ever at 1.2 million sq. ft. with 350,000 sq. ft. of contiguous exhibit space and a spectacular 65,000 sq. ft. waterfront ballroom, plus original dining concepts, enhanced water-taxi access and an expansive outdoor waterfront plaza. The new center will be managed with ASM Global’s VenueShield environmental hygiene protocol to provide the highest levels of cleanliness and safety. The center opens in phases beginning in late 2021 with completion projected for 2024.
