At the Greater Tacoma Convention Center (GTCC), you'll find inspired art and breath-taking views that
mesh with flexible spaces, earning the GTCC and Tacoma a reputation as a top convention destination.
Surrounded by natural beauty, the building offers an impressive selection of usable event space
including the 50,000-square-foot, column-free exhibition hall; 25,000 square feet of ballroom and
meeting space; and more than 42,000 square feet of additional event space. Gathering in Tacoma
means you'll have the exceptional combination of an award-winning professional planning staff and one of America's most walkable metropolitan cities. With more than 1,100 hotel rooms within one half mile, the venue boasts more than 2,500 rooms in the nearby Tacoma region, including the new adjoining Marriott Tacoma Downtown with 304 rooms. Just 18 miles from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, downtown Tacoma is filled with hotels, fresh local cuisine, museums, nightlife, and a thriving waterfront, all within walking distance from the GTCC.
