Pennsylvania Convention Center - one of the largest convention centers in the U.S.

The Pennsylvania Convention Center in Center City encompasses more than one million square feet of exhibit, ballroom, and meeting space, making it one of the largest convention facilities in the United States. Opened in phases beginning in the early 1990s and expanded subsequently, it hosts major national and international trade shows, conventions, and events. The facility occupies the former Reading Terminal train shed and adjacent blocks and is a major economic and event hub for Philadelphia. Its scale and downtown location distinguish it among U.S. convention centers.
