In 2023, the venue completed a multi-million dollar renovation. The Capital Improvement project involved a remarkable 23,500-square-foot expansion that added two stories to the existing structure, providing 18 brand-new waterfront rooms. These versatile spaces are designed to accommodate a wide range of meetings and events, further enhancing the convention center’s ability to cater to conferences and conventions in the Tampa Bay region.
