Top Reasons Planners Choose the Savannah Convention Center

The expanded Savannah Convention Center now spans 660,000 square feet, offering even more space and panoramic waterfront views along the Savannah River. The facility features a 200,000-sq.-ft. exhibit hall, a 40,000-sq.-ft. ballroom, a 376-seat auditorium, and 32 flexible meeting rooms designed to support events of every scale.

Floor-to-ceiling windows invite natural light into the space while thoughtful layouts allow attendees to move easily between sessions, exhibits and networking opportunities. The result is a modern, flexible venue built to support conventions, trade shows and meetings with room to grow.

Along with the facility’s striking design, its scenic location is a stunning complement. Savannah's historic waterfront is a sight to behold, with more than 300 miles of waterways sweeping across the city. Attendees can step outdoors between sessions to take in skyline views and the steady rhythm of life along the river.

From passengers cruising aboard the Georgia Queen to massive container ships navigating the waterway, there's always something moving along the Savannah River, turning a quick break into a scenic moment.

The Savannah Convention Center is thoughtfully positioned to keep attendees connected to both their meetings and the destination around them. Just steps away, The Westin Savannah Harbor Golf Resort & Spa provides a convenient full-service lodging option overlooking the Savannah River, while the future 444-room Signia by Hilton Savannah will connect directly to the convention center, creating an even more streamlined headquarters hotel experience for planners and their guests.

Across the water, the Historic Landmark District is easily accessible via the Savannah Belles Ferry or by car via the prominent Talmadge Memorial Bridge, offering quick transportation between the convention center campus and Savannah’s celebrated downtown, connecting attendees to the city's numerous districts. Within minutes, attendees can step into a walkable landscape of historic squares, dining, shopping and entertainment before returning to the waterfront for their next session.

Behind the Savannah Convention Center’s welcoming atmosphere is a powerful layer of modern technology designed to keep events running smoothly. Planners and attendees benefit from high-speed connectivity, integrated audiovisual capabilities and flexible digital infrastructure that support everything from large presentations to hybrid-ready meetings.

Thoughtfully designed meeting rooms and event spaces allow planners to adapt layouts, presentations and communications with ease.

Sustainability is thoughtfully woven into the design and operations of the Savannah Convention Center. The facility holds LEED Gold certification, reflecting a commitment to responsible building practices, energy efficiency and long-term environmental stewardship.

Savannah's approach to sustainability also extends beyond the convention center’s walls. The destination's walkability, ferry access and preservation-minded culture make it easy for attendees to move through the city while reducing their environmental footprint. Together, these efforts create a meeting experience that feels both forward-thinking and authentically Savannah.

These experts are intertwined within the community, making sight visits, dining reservations, accommodations, and activities a hands-off experience for planners while delivering gold-standard convenience. Alongside the invaluable support of the Savannah Convention Center team, planners gain trusted partners dedicated to ensuring every detail runs smoothly.
