“I'm always impressed with Conventions here. It's massive so you're never pressed for space. Catering services are excellent. And the overpriced food court is tremendously convenient. Ample security who are friendly and knowledgeable. I prefer Freeman BY FAR for events here. But GES, T3 and LVE are fine communicating, navigating and moving quick-ish, as well”

“We attended HYROX to watch our kids compete. The convention center was the perfect size and we were incredibly impressed with the HYROX group that ran a very organized endurance competition. THEY WERE KIND and cheered on all competitors. The competition ran so smoothly and there were over 2000 competing. The professional photographers took amazing pictures of the competitors during the competition. We ate at Johnny Rockets while we were there.”
