Nestled
in the heart of historic downtown San Antonio along the banks of the world
famous River
Walk
thrives the nucleus of our City’s convention industry. The Henry B. Gonzalez
Convention Center (HBGCC) plays host to more than 300 events each year with over
750,000 convention delegates from around the world.
The
HBGCC once built as part of the 1968 HemisFair is but a memory as it has
expanded into a beautifully decorated and spacious facility. The HBGCC spans an
impressive 1.3 million square feet to include 59 meeting rooms, 3 beautiful ballrooms, 4 exhibit halls
with a contiguous space of approximately 440,000 sq. ft. and 7
registration areas.
The
HBGCC complex also features the Lila
Cockrell Theatre,
a 2,521-seat Performing Arts Theatre. The
Alamodome
and
more than 9,600 of the City’s downtown hotel rooms (over 25,000 citywide)
are within minutes and walking distance as well as restaurants
and entertainment.
Come
and see for yourself why readers of Meetings South Magazine recently voted the
Henry B. Gonzalez Convention the “Best
Convention Center in the Industry”
two years in a row.
