Grand opportunities await you at the Grand Wayne Center, where we have room to make your next event truly spectacular.
Located in the heart of downtown Fort Wayne, your delegates will find the experienced staff of the Grand Wayne Convention Center simply refreshing. Wish 80,000 square feet of fully carpeted, dedicated event space and 30,000 square feet of public areas, your convention, corporate meeting trade show, banquet or special event can fine the room it needs in this award-winning convention center.
The Grand Wayne Convention Center recently double its size and now features a new sub-divisible 50,000 square foot multi-purpose Convention Hall. Like the entire Center, it is fully carpeted, equipped with state-of-the-art sound and lighting systems and is acoustically paneled for superior sound quality.
Convention attendees will enjoy the attached luxury hotel, easy-access loading docks, phone lines, computer-driven sound system, in-house exhibition services and audio-visual department.
New covered parking is connected by skywalk and a second connecting the Grand Wayne Convention Center to the beautifully landscaped Botanical Conservatory and historic Embassy Theatre. Within a six-block radius, there are twelve attractions and more than two dozen restaurants.
"Fort Wayne's Hoosier Hospitality served as a backdrop for a successful convention. Attendance at our convention even exceeded our expectations. The facilities and staff at the Grand Wayne Center were first-rate, and the surrounding hotel accommodations complimented our Fort Wayne experience."
