Bringing events to life
Get inspired and explore the Austin Convention Center’s pre-function space, exhibit halls, and ballrooms. Imagine how your event can transform the space.

The Austin Convention Center is currently closed for construction related to the facility’s expansion and redevelopment, scheduled to be completed in 2029. Our sister facility, the Palmer Events Center, located at 900 Barton Springs Road, remains available for booking.
The new, larger Austin Convention Center will significantly increase the rentable square footage of the existing facility, growing from 365,000 square feet to 620,000 square feet of rentable space. The $1.6 billion project, known as UnconventionalATX, will be funded through Hotel Occupancy Tax and Convention Center revenues.
During closure, the Austin Convention Center Department’s parking garages, located at 201 East 2nd Street and 601 East 5th Street, will continue to operate.
We are currently accepting leads for 2029 and beyond. Please click below to request a proposal!
