GREATER FORT LAUDERDALE
Meeting Inspiration, Inside and Out
W
ith vast space inside a newly reimagined convention center and miles of beaches and waterways outdoors, Greater Fort Lauderdale is ready to delight your attendees, inside and
out.
CONVENTION CENTER REIMAGINED
The Greater Fort Lauderdale/Broward County Convention Center expansion is well underway with the first phase set to open in late 2021. The transformed venue will feature 350,000 sq. ft. of contiguous exhibit space, Water Taxi access, and ASM Global’s VenueShield to provide the highest levels of cleanliness and safety. Plus, Visit Lauderdale is giving away $10 million in meeting space for events booked during eligible 2021-2024 dates, so don’t miss out.
ATTENDEES CAN GO WHERE THE YACHTS GO
After the business side of the day is over, your attendees can enjoy 24 miles of coastline and 300 miles of scenic waterways here in the “Yachting Capital of the World.” A charter can be arranged for groups of any size for an inspiring luncheon, cocktail or dinner cruise through shimmering canals with stunning mansions and superyachts at every turn. Or plan a teambuilding adventure with a paddle boarding, kayaking, snorkeling, diving or fishing excursion. And if you’re looking for the ultimate incentive trip, why not charter a yacht between Fort Lauderdale and Bermuda? Both destinations have wonderful offerings on land to enhance the private cruise experience.
MORE EXCEPTIONAL VENUES, INSIDE…
The BB&T Center is Greater Fort Lauderdale’s home for NHL hockey and also features 100,000 sq. ft. of meeting space. The Broward Center for the Performing Arts, Gallery of Amazing
Things and C&I Studios also offer one-of-a-kind spaces inside. Excite larger groups’ imaginations with an event for up to 3,000 at the Museum of Discovery & Science.
…OR OUTSIDE
Treat your group to an enchanting gathering at the Bamboo Gallery, with acres of tropical foliage, tiki huts and waterfalls. Or host a celebration under the stars at one of the area’s many rooftop bars, such as Sparrow, named one of the best rooftop bars in the United States.
