Be among the first to secure your spot in the newly expanded Greater Fort Lauderdale/Broward County Convention Center, set to open in late 2025. This $1.3 billion transformation will redefine meeting spaces with a stunning 65,000-square-foot waterfront ballroom, a six-acre waterfront plaza featuring an amphitheater and restaurant, and the Omni Fort Lauderdale, an impressive 801-room, on-site headquarters hotel.
Planning your event here is effortless, because everything is within reach. Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) is just four miles away from the convention center, offering direct flights from 85+ U.S. cities and 60+ international destinations across 33 countries. Need accommodations? Choose from 3,000+ hotel rooms within 1.5 miles of the convention center or explore 14,000+ rooms at meeting-focused hotels throughout Greater Fort Lauderdale. Looking for a vibrant downtown with Water Taxi access for a truly unique way to see the area? Las Olas, the heart of the city’s shopping and dining district, is only 2.5 miles away as well.
Want to blend business with leisure? Extend your stay with a cruise from Port Everglades, just half a mile from the convention center and one of the busiest ports in the world. And when it comes to dining, Greater Fort Lauderdale delivers; from farm-to-table eats and vegan delights to fresh seafood, craft brews, and artisanal coffee. Explore a world of flavors including Latin, Italian, Caribbean, and Asian cuisine across our 31 diverse municipalities.
Take your event beyond the boardroom with an Everglades adventure, a wellness retreat, or a luxury shopping spree. Unwind at world-class spas and wellness centers or indulge in retail therapy at Sawgrass Mills, The Galleria at Fort Lauderdale, or the boutiques of Las Olas Blvd.
This is more than a meeting—it’s an experience your attendees won’t forget.
