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.
