Raleigh Convention Center - Raleigh, North Carolina

I’ve held events at many convention centers and Raleigh is definitely one of my favorites. The light in the lobby and hallways is so inviting. The staff is great to work with. Nice stacked layout, such fun space to work with (especially the grand staircase). Only issue we found was with the elevators only going to certain levels and not well marked, but I think they’re fixing that in the remodel.

I recently attended the Raleigh convention center for the NCHSAA State Invitational Cheer event. It was a very large event with quite a few people. I think they handled the crowd very well. There were workers constantly cleaning, and the layout of the building was very suitable for the event. It was my first time at the building that I was very impressed with how everything went while we were there.

The Raleigh Convention Center is an excellent venue overall. It's situated in a clean and well-maintained area, and the staff here are incredibly friendly and accommodating. The building itself is spacious, modern, and versatile, making it a great choice for hosting a variety of events. One of the standout features is the range of rooms and floors available, which allows for events of different sizes and setups. Additionally, the convention center has restaurants and other amenities conveniently located inside, adding to the overall experience.

The surrounding area also has a lot to offer, with plenty of dining and entertainment options nearby, which is great for attendees who want to explore the city before or after an event.

The only downside is the loading and unloading process. Since you have to go through a specific area near the stadium, it can be a bit inconvenient, especially during busy times. However, this is a minor issue when considering the overall quality of the facility.

If you’re considering hosting an event, I highly recommend the Raleigh Convention Center. It’s an awesome place with plenty to offer, and I wouldn’t hesitate to use it again in the future.

Attended for All Things Open again this year (2024)! The Convention Center is a great venue for the conference. There is enough room in the ballrooms for everyone and enough breakout rooms for smaller tracks. The staff are friendly and professional. Lots of parking options downtown, but I do recommend planning ahead if you're not downtown often.

This is an absolutely beautiful building that is kept clean and can hold multiple large conferences at a time. They even have expansion plans in the near future. There are multiple parking decks across the street from it on all sides of the block. Centerplate, their hospitality/food & beverage contractor, have exceptional food that is quite varied. I love visiting and working at the convention center and I’m proud to have such a great facility in my home city.
