Events DC Named to EXHIBITOR Magazine’s Centers of Excellence List for the Sixth Year in a Row
10/24/2024
WASHINGTON, DC – Events DC, the official convention and sports authority of Washington, DC announced that the Walter E. Washington Convention Center was named one of North America’s best convention centers for trade shows and events by Exhibitor Group for the sixth year in a row. The Walter E. Washington Convention Center is also a finalist for the Best Convention Center Award (500,000 – 1 million square-feet of exhibit space) and Best Customer Service and On-Site Support Award. "We are thrilled to be included in EXHIBITOR’s Centers of Excellence list for the sixth consecutive year,” said Events DC President and CEO Angie M. Gates. “The dedicated staff at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center work consistently to make our venue exceptional, while highlighting Washington, DC as an excellent destination for visitors from around the world. I sincerely appreciate EXHIBITOR magazine for acknowledging Events DC's steadfast commitment to delivering outstanding service to all our guests." The news comes after the Walter E. Washington Convention Center achieved LEED Platinum certification in September, recognizing Events DC’s commitment to sustainability, operational excellence, efficiency and high-performance design. The awards are based on five criteria: facility and functionality; location and accommodations; service and execution; expansions and upgrades; and awards and industry participation. The evaluation process also includes a survey of event planners, show organizers and exhibit managers who have recently hosted or exhibited at events within each facility, as well as a review of entrants’ event spaces, selling points and innovations conducted by a panel of corporate exhibit managers. In addition to naming North America’s 25 best venues for trade shows and events, EXHIBITOR will announce the finalists for five special awards in November, including Best Convention Center in four size-based categories, as well as Best Customer Service and On-Site Support.
