Overview of the HRCC

Playing up Hampton’s significance as a historic seaport, the look of the Hampton Roads Convention Center is purely nautical. Billowing canvases soar over the center’s main entrance, descending to canals of water that extend throughout the campus.

The sprawling Hampton Roads Convention Center features 344,000 total square feet of versatile convention and exhibit space. There are 35 meeting rooms with capacity for up to 14,000 delegates, including a grand ballroom with banquet seating for more than 2,000 and a spacious 102,000-square-foot exhibit hall that divides into three sections, each served by an oversized freight loading door.

An intimate conference center within the facility provides privately accessed, semi-secure meeting space. Convention delegates can decompress on an outdoor terrace overlooking glistening streams and water fountains. The terrace serves as a spectacular spot for twilight receptions!

A sparkling new 295-suite, John Q. Hammons Embassy Suites Hotel connects to the Hampton Roads Convention Center by covered walkway. There are 2,500 hotel rooms within walking distance and nearly 3,000 rooms within a few minutes drive of the Hampton Roads Convention Center.
