If it’s raw square footage you’re looking for, in addition to a spectacular setting, you’re also in luck. The Los Angeles Convention Center offers nearly 1,000,000 square feet of exhibit and meeting space artfully designed for different groups to meet simultaneously yet feel as if they own the place. And if a large group is looking to occupy the entire center, the rooms are close enough for the group to move seamlessly among the halls. The 346,890-square-foot South Hall, the 210,685-square-foot West Hall and the 162,000-square-foot Kentia Hall are large enough to handle the most elaborate and complex shows. And the two special-event meeting rooms — the 21,557-square-foot Petree Hall and the 26,342-square-foot Concourse Hall — also can be used for exhibits. 
All of the convention center’s halls (except Kentia) are divisible into two or more spaces, giving meeting professionals the opportunity to set up breakout sessions and other smaller events. There’s also a tiered-seat theater (capacity 299), which is perfect for press conferences, product unveilings and other gatherings. As one of the most technologically advanced convention centers in the world, the Los Angeles Convention Center offers a facility-wide gigabit-speed multimode fiber optic cabling backbone and wireless Internet availability throughout the building. Trade shows and events continually praise the convention center for its bandwidth and ability to transmit data at high speeds.
How does the convention center rank environmentally? The Los Angeles Convention Center is among the greenest in the nation and has recently obtained LEED-EB Gold certification. Its cutting-edge conservation programs include a beverage container recycling program; a material recovery facility that recycles post-trade show unused exhibit material; a food waste recycling program that converts leftovers into animal feed; and a photovoltaic system that makes the Los Angeles Convention Center the largest solar energy-generating convention center in North America.
