Explore St. Louis

St. Lou is…Surprising. Expect the unexpected – especially if you haven't visited in awhile. From our newly rejuvenated downtown to an ever-expanding menu of offbeat attractions and dining options, you'll be surprised at what St. Louis has to offer. Whether your meeting is large, small or somewhere in between, the America's Center convention complex offers a unique combination of flexible facilities and services for any event. In addition to 502,000-square feet of exhibit space, first-class catering options, and easy access, St. Louis offers one stop shopping for meeting planners. Our professional staff includes the marketing, sales, services and convention center staff all under one roof. Literally. The St. Louis Convention & Visitors Commission (dba Explore St. Louis) manages and operates the America's Center® convention complex, which includes six contiguous exhibit halls, 80 meeting rooms, the 67,000-seat Dome at America's Center, 1,400-seat Ferrara Theatre, 28,000 square-foot ballroom and the St. Louis Executive Conference Center. America's Center also employs a full-time labor relations manager who works to establish a mutually beneficial relationship between the center's clients and the local trade unions. One building + one staff = one great meeting. While we all know great meetings don't just "happen" St. Louis can make your next great meeting happen a lot easier. From our convention center and unique meeting venues to the abundance of luxurious and affordable hotel rooms, the Gateway City has whatever you need to take your next meeting to the next level.
