This development further establishes Savannah as a prime destination for meetings, conventions, and exhibitions, offering state-of-the-art facilities and enhanced amenities designed to elevate every event experience. 

The newly expanded center now boasts an impressive 660,000 square feet of space, creating a dynamic and versatile venue for a wide range of gatherings. The 200,000 square-foot exhibit hall provides ample room for trade shows and large-scale events, ensuring a more engaging and interactive experience for attendees. 

Hospitality Meets Innovation 

For more intimate and upscale occasions, the center features two grand ballrooms: a 25,000 square-foot space ideal for galas and conferences, and a 40,000 square-foot ballroom that accommodates the largest of events with ease. Additionally, the expansion includes 28 versatile meeting rooms, catering for groups of all sizes, and four executive boardrooms equipped with cutting-edge technology and amenities for high-level discussions and meetings. 

The 367-seat auditorium offers a modern space with excellent acoustics and visibility, making it the perfect setting for keynote speeches and performances. Beyond meeting spaces, the expansion prioritizes convenience, with the center connected to 403 hotel rooms, allowing guests to seamlessly transition between their accommodations and the convention center. A new 900-space parking garage further enhances accessibility, eliminating the guesswork from parking concerns for event attendees.  

A standout feature of the expanded facility is the 58-foot hangar door, which opens up exciting possibilities for outdoor events, receptions, and performances. This innovative addition sets the Savannah Convention Center apart, offering unique opportunities to create unforgettable experiences. 

A Successful Launch Event 

The expansion was celebrated in grand style with the Nike Savannah Showdown, the premier indoor volleyball event that marked the first major gathering in the newly upgraded space. The event’s success underscores the center’s capabilities in hosting large-scale, high-profile events with precision and excellence.
