I went to a flower and garden show here and although it was crowded, the convention center was able to handle it. The ticket sales was down stairs so those with tickets were able to go in without having to fight through the crowds of people buying tickets. The place is huge with several escalators and elevators. The ballrooms which were used for classrooms were a floor above. Not only was the place huge, it has a rich feel to it. By this I mean it isn't a run down building. Formal events requiring tuxedos or gowns is not going to be out of place here. It is next to a Marriott and you can get from the hotel to the convention center without going outside. There is garage parking that is charged by the hour.
