Anaheim Convention Center Expansion Breaking Ground on April 21!

The Anaheim Convention Center (ACC), LEED certified and the largest exhibition center on the West Coast, will soon begin its seventh expansion project, furthering the Center's standing as the preferred location for world-class meetings, events and conventions. The expansion ground breaking will be held Tuesday, April 21 at 11 a.m. in the Arena Plaza. The expansion, which is anticipated to be completed in 2017 will include the addition of 200,000 square-feet of flexible space for hosting concurrent events, capturing new meeting groups and retaining large annual events. 

The ACC, centrally located in the heart of Southern California, welcomes millions of visitors to the City of Anaheim for tourism, business, conventions, trade shows and meetings. Additionally, the ACC is part of the Anaheim Resort, which generates nearly 50 percent of the City's general fund tax revenues.
