Savannah Convention Center Expansion

Modern Features Mean a Fresh Wave of Benefits for Planners & Attendees

The expansion not only provides an impressive increase in the size of the facility but also includes unique, modern features that will attract a wider variety of meetings and larger groups.

The Savannah Convention Center is located along the Savannah River. The Center provides a prime opportunity for boat shows, marine-focused events and outdoor recreation. And, in combination with the waterfront facility’s docks, groups can have a one-of-a-kind experience by traveling across the river on the Savannah Belles water ferries.

Outdoor meetings take new shape on the new rooftop patio overlooking the Savannah River and Historic Landmark District. The partially covered area of the terrace bodes well for all types of weather while providing an unforgettable view.

In addition, a brand-new hangar door will open up additional opportunities for the aerospace and aviation industry, offering small aircraft the chance to land on Hutchinson Island and taxi directly into the facility. This allows versatility for large-scale installations and so much more.

The expanded venue will make Savannah an ideal place for some of the world's largest and most respected businesses, organizations and associations to host meetings. Learn more.

"From the moment we arrived, the warmth, pride, and professionalism of Visit Savannah's team and partners were evident at every turn. The venues were exceptional and the hospitality—at every stop—was simply unmatched. Savannah’s unique charm and beautiful azaleas were on full display, and it left a lasting impression on all of us." 

-Don Welsh, President & CEO Destinations International

Unmatched Space and Flexibility

With 200,000 square feet of exhibit hall space and a new 40,000-square-foot ballroom to complement the existing 25,000-square-foot ballroom, the convention center accommodates a variety of events with ease. The impressive space also features 32 customizable breakout rooms, a 900-space parking garage, a 58-foot-wide hangar door and a new glass facade entry — the convention center has everything you need for a successful and memorable event.

"The Savannah Convention Center knocked the ball out of the park with their expansion. The building and amenities are beautiful and well thought out. What a way to celebrate the Savannah Convention Center's 25th Anniversary with the opening of the new expansion! We found our overall experience to be top notch. It was easy to plan our event, and the execution was flawless. The Convention Center staff and departments have a great synergy and made partnering with them a really great experience.”
