Anaheim Convention Center
Anaheim, United States
The Anaheim Convention Center is a convention center in Anaheim, California, United States. It is located across from the Disneyland Resort on Katella Avenue. The original components, designed by Adrian Wilson & Associates and built by the Del E. Webb Corporation, opened in July 1967—including a basketball arena followed shortly by the convention hall. It has hosted many events, like Star Wars Celebration, VidCon, BlizzCon, Anime Expo, D23 Expo, WonderCon, NAMM Show, Pokémon World Championships, competitions, and more. In addition to hosting various types of conventions, the Anaheim Convention Center was used to host the wrestling during the 1984 Summer Olympics. The center has subsequently undergone six major expansions (1974, 1982, 1990, 1993, 1999–2000, 2016–2017). With a total space of 1,800,000 sq ft (170, 000 m2), it is the largest convention center on the West Coast of the United States. The center includes 813,607 sq ft (75, 586.6 m2) of exhibition space, 81,423 sq ft (7, 564.4 m2) of meeting space, and 38,058 sq ft (3, 535.7 m2) of ballroom space.
