Discover exhibition venues in Washington DC
Exhibitions, trade shows, and conventions are opportunities for people to come and see what the organizers have to share. Sometimes that's the latest technological developments in the automotive world; at another exhibition the focus might be on rocks and minerals. What unites all exhibitions is the need for enough space to accommodate a large audience plus tables, booths, and presentations on the subject matter.
Fortunately, Washington, D.C. is much more than a political and historic capital. It's also an event center where tens of millions of people pass through each year. From intimate art gallery spaces to convention centers for thousands of attendees, there is a venue here for any sort of exhibition!
The best places to host an exhibition in Washington DC
Large- and small-scale exhibitions have very different needs. If you're planning a massive event for hundreds to thousands of guests, your best options include DC hotels, convention centers, stadiums, and business event centers. Hotels regularly host exhibits and conventions because they provide a place to sleep as well as learn. Not to mention being within walking distance of restaurants and the many historic sights of Washington DC.
You can host smaller scale exhibitions inside of museums, art galleries, lofts, and hotels. These spaces are no less refined or technologically equipped and are more budget-friendly due to their smaller scale.
Venues like the Walter E. Washington Convention Center offers space for thousands of guests with amenities to match. It boasts 703,000 sq. ft. of exhibit space within 2.3 million square feet of total venue area. Complete with meeting rooms, breakout rooms, parking, bathrooms, and more for up to 42,000 attendees! The Walter E. Washington Convention Center hosts international exhibitions including fashion shows, trade shows, product launch events, and scientific conventions.
Unique exhibition venues in Washington DC
One of the best ways to make an exhibition memorable is to choose a venue that's different from the norm. Unique doesn't have to mean low-tier, however. For example, The Smithsonian Museums and National Zoo are world-class institutions that are also amazing spaces for an exhibition.
You can host an art exhibition at The National Museum of African Art or a technology exhibition at The National Air and Space Museum. Like many museums, The Smithsonian has spaces within its walls beyond the main exhibit halls, including ballrooms, banquet halls, breakout rooms, and conference rooms, giving you endless options for a truly unique exhibition.
