Today the ribbon is cut on the brand new annex of the Pennsylvania Convention Center.

The center’s expansion, many years in the making, will increase meeting and exhibit space by nearly 60%, allowing two conventions to hold their events simultaneously. The center now has the largest contiguous exhibit space in the Northeast (541,000 square feet), and the largest convention center ballroom on the East Coast (60,000 square feet).

Part of the expansion process also included the overhaul of the center’s food and beverage operation, which has been enhanced and enlarged, in addition to significant technology advances like robust wireless Internet access in all areas.
