ROCHESTER MN. – Last month Exhibitor Group announced the 25 convention centers that qualified for its fifth annual Centers of Excellence Awards, and today we are excited to announce the winners of five special awards related to the competition. The 2024 Centers of Excellence Special Awards winners are:
Best Convention Center (Over 1 Million sq. ft. of Exhibit Space)
Best Convention Center (500,000 – 1 Million sq. ft. of Exhibit Space)

The Special Awards winners were announced today during a special EXHIBITORInsight session which can be viewed on-demand here.
Exhibitor Group, which produces both EXHIBITOR magazine and Find It on EXHIBITORXchange, the buyer’s guide to trade show products and services, launched the Centers of Excellence initiative in 2019 to identify and recognize North America’s best convention centers for trade shows and events.
The highest-scoring venues named among EXHIBITOR Magazine’s 2024 Centers of Excellence are featured in a special supplement in the October/November issue of EXHIBITOR, as well as via an online portal where readers can learn more about each of the facilities that qualified for this honor.
The venues that qualified for EXHIBITOR Magazine’s 2024 Centers of Excellence include:
“The facilities on this list have proven their ability to host trade shows and events of all sizes while providing world-class service and state-of-the-art accommodations,” said Emily Olson, editor of EXHIBITOR magazine.
Small, medium, and large convention centers located anywhere in North America are invited to apply annually, with entrants evaluated using an objective algorithm weighted to reflect how EXHIBITOR magazine readers value a variety of variables.
The evaluation process also includes a survey of event planners, show organizers, and exhibit managers who have recently hosted (or exhibited at) events within each facility, as well as a review of entrants’ event spaces, selling points, and innovations, conducted by a panel of corporate exhibit managers.
