The Baltimore Convention Center is the Mid-Atlantic region’s premier venue for conventions, meetings, trade shows, banquets, and special events. With 300,000 square feet of contiguous exhibition space, 85,000 square feet of flexible meeting space across 50 rooms, and a 36,672-square-foot multifunctional ballroom, the BCC offers the capacity and versatility to accommodate a wide range of professional gatherings. Our trusted business partners – Levy (catering), Projection (audio-visual), Hospitality Network (telecommunications), and Edlen Electrical Exhibition Services (temporary utility services) – ensure a seamless experience by providing industry-leading event support services.
Since opening in August 1979, the Baltimore Convention Center has been a cornerstone of economic growth and tourism in the region. Its construction predated and helped catalyze the development of Baltimore’s Inner Harbor, preceding iconic attractions like Harborplace and the National Aquarium. The BCC’s success spurred further investment in retail, dining, and entertainment, solidifying Baltimore’s reputation as a dynamic destination for both business and leisure.
The BCC underwent a significant expansion in 1996 and continues to be a leading force in the city’s convention and tourism industry. Hosting over 125 events annually and welcoming approximately 500,000 attendees, the venue is a key driver of economic impact.
With a legacy of excellence and a commitment to innovation, the Baltimore Convention Center remains the heart of Baltimore’s convention and tourism industry, providing an exceptional experience for event organizers, exhibitors, and attendees alike.
