The 1.2 million square-foot event facility, located in the heart of Baltimore, Maryland’s downtown business district, is the premier venue in the mid-Atlantic region for conventions, meetings, banquets, trade shows, and a variety of public and private events. They’re able to do this thanks to their prime location, dedicated staff, and flexible space. “You can drive, you can take the train, you can fly in – we are very accessible,” says Peggy Daidakis, Executive Director for the BCC. “The airport is only six miles away, we are surrounded by hotels of varying price ranges and service amenities within walking distance. It’s a very walkable convention district, which is something that’s attractive for those who are planning national or international conventions. Once people get situated in their hotel they have the option of walking to the many restaurants, attractions, and to the facility itself without having to worry about cabs and bus transportation.” The center’s 300,000 square-feet of exhibition space is almost completely column free, offering opportunities for clients to host almost any size and type of event imaginable.
