The Fort Worth Convention Center expansion aims to double the venue’s hosting capacity, enhancing its ability to accommodate major events. The project includes a 75,000 sf expansion of exhibit space, a 40,000 sf addition of meeting space, and a 40,000 sf ballroom on the north end of the building. This transformation will replace the existing arena, enabling the center to host two distinct events simultaneously. The north expansion will also introduce a dynamic new front-door experience aligned with downtown Fort Worth, featuring ample outdoor spaces and state of the art amenities to elevate the visitor experience.
