PUERTO RICO CONVENTION CENTER The most technologically advanced throughout both the Caribbean and Latin America.

The new Puerto Rico Convention Center is the largest in the Caribbean and the most technologically advanced throughout both the Caribbean and Latin America.

To establish Puerto Rico as an important player in the convention industry, an ambitious project is being developed to fulfill the needs of this growing industry: the Puerto Rico Convention Center District. The Convention Center is located in what once used to be a US Naval Base, in the San Juan Peninsula and is adjacent to the tourist areas of Miramar, Condado, and Old San Juan.

The Convention District consists of 113 acres of prime land under the administration of the Puerto Rico Convention Center District Authority, a public corporation established by law. The project is structured as a public/private partnership, with government investment yielding to greater private investment into the economy and supporting its success. The District will include hotels, retail stores, residences and recreational areas. The modern and cutting edge Convention Center will be a drawing force for a new era of economic and tourism development in Puerto Rico. The Authority will also administer the Coliseum of Puerto Rico, the Coliseo José Miguel Agrelot.

Included in the Convention District's new developments are the following projects:
• Full service anchor hotel and casino
• Residential and office buildings
• Retail and entertainment complex, including a cinema
• Waterfront cafes, restaurants and walkways

Meeting in Puerto Rico will never be the same. The new Puerto Rico Convention Center is the largest in the Caribbean and the most technologically advanced throughout both the Caribbean and Latin America. Boasting 580,000 square feet of total space, the Center can accommodate groups of up to 10,000 in an ideal setting located at the gateway to all the Island has to offer. Yes, we're open!
