Meetings Are Better By The Water

In Greater Fort Lauderdale, meetings move with the energy of the destination. Standout hotels, easy access, waterfront dining, memorable group experiences, and warm hospitality come together to help planners create events that feel effortless, engaging, and built around the attendee experience.

Now open after a landmark billion-dollar expansion, the Broward County Convention Center brings more than 1.2 million square feet of event space to the waterfront — including a 350,000-square-foot contiguous exhibit hall, a 65,000-square-foot waterfront ballroom, enhanced water taxi access, new dining concepts, an iconic waterfront plaza, and a connected Omni headquarters hotel.

Testimonials Why Planners Choose Greater Fort Lauderdale

I wanted to say a huge thank you for all that the CVB did for CEO Summit!  We heard great feedback about the activities and happy that our associates, CEOs and partners were able to discover and experience what Ft Lauderdale/Hollywood has to offer!

Katherine Quigg ConferenceDirect – CEO Summit

For our recent event, the team at the Greater Fort Lauderdale Convention & Visitors Bureau was wonderful to work with. They are experienced, professional, and provide outstanding service. The selection of Fort Lauderdale for this event was a great decision which resulted in an excellent incentive and meeting. The community truly works together and knows how to get things done. I would highly recommend working with the Greater Fort Lauderdale CVB again and look forward to going back to Fort Lauderdale at the next opportunity.
