Hartford, Connecticut

Largest Convention Center between New York & Boston
Hartford is Connecticut’s capital and one of New England’s oldest cities. Home to the nation’s oldest public art museum, the Wadsworth Athenaeum, the oldest public park, Bushnell Park, and the oldest continually published newspaper, The Hartford Courant, Hartford is a destination that has seamlessly woven a rich historical past into a vibrant modern city. Enjoy tantalizing bites at over 40 local restaurants, see a show at one of the nation’s leading resident theatres, the Hartford Stage, or catch the pulse pounding action of the Hartford Wolf Pack hockey team at the XL Center. Or better yet, do it all!
The Connecticut Convention Center is the Northeast’s most ideal location for trade shows, conventions and business meetings or any occasion that demands a dramatic riverfront setting. Conveniently attached to the 409 room Hartford Marriott Downtown and just steps from Downtown Hartford, the Connecticut Convention Center overlooks the beautiful Connecticut River.
With over 140,000 square feet of exhibition space, a 40,000 square foot ballroom and 25,000 square feet of flexible meeting space, the Connecticut Convention Center is one of the largest convention facilities between New York and Boston.
