EXHIBITOR Magazine Names Finalists for Best Convention Center
11/17/2022
ROCHESTER, MN – Earlier this year, Exhibitor Group, which produces both EXHIBITOR magazine and Find It – Marketplace, the buyer’s guide to trade show products and services, announced the 30 venues that qualified for its fourth annual Centers of Excellence list, which recognizes North America’s best convention centers for trade shows and events. Small, medium, and large convention centers located anywhere in North America were invited to apply, and entrants were evaluated using an objective algorithm weighted to reflect how EXHIBITOR magazine readers value a variety of variables.

“Being named among our Centers of Excellence is a huge accomplishment,” said Travis Stanton, editor in chief of EXHIBITOR magazine. “But to further acknowledge the best of the best, these special awards recognize the exhibitor-friendly venues that consistently exceed expectations and collectively raise the bar with regard to what a convention center is and should be.”

The finalists for each special award are listed below, and the winners will be announced during a ceremony held in conjunction with IAEE’s Expo! Expo! next month in Louisville at the Kentucky International Convention Center. In addition to being named among the 2023 Centers of Excellence, a number of facilities qualified for special awards in the following categories.
