Mobile, Ala., Convention Center
Wireless Internet access is the latest addition to the Mobile Convention Center. Access is available throughout the facility and on the terraces.
Located on the Mobile River, the convention center, with its mast-like tower, looks like a sailing ship. It's just over 10 years old, and it still sparkles. In the bright, airy pre-function areas, glass window-walls overlook the river, and structural elements are painted gleaming white. The facility includes a 100,000-square-foot exhibit hall; a 15,500-square-foot divisible ballroom, 26,500 square feet of meeting space, a generous 52,000 square feet of lobby and pre-function space, and 45,000 square feet of space on terraces.
Connected to the convention center by a covered skywalk is the 377-room Adam's Mark Hotel, the city's largest convention hotel. The property's 32,000 square feet of meeting space includes two ballrooms. Additional meeting and exhibition space is available at the Mobile Civic Center, which offers three facilities under one roof: an arena, a theater, and an exposition hall, each with its own entrance. The seven-story domed arena seats 10,600 people and has 80,000 square feet of exhibit space, 15 meeting rooms, and two small exhibit halls. The 1,933-seat Civic Center Theater can be used for general sessions or special events.
Several venues for off-site events have a rich Southern flavor.
