The Austin Convention Center is impressive. Here's why:

1) It's HUGE but easy to navigate. Signage is clear and there are many exits out into the world.

2) It's centrally located in downtown Austin near all the best bars, restaurants, and hotels.

3) It's clean.

4) There's strong, free wifi.

5) There's balcony seating on most floors with a great view of the city.

If you're looking to host a big event, the Austin Convention Center is one of the best in America.

We went to the Home & Garden show. There were more cooking shows and trinket vendors than anything else it seemed...and all of the vendors hawking $%% off if you give us your address and phone #. Could well lead to phone spam hell.

Attended the Title III Symposium for Educators, Administrators, Directors, etc. Great facility, clean, organized. Perfect location, hotels all around for easy access to the convention. Must take a sweater, really cold when you are in trainings.

Well done convention center, but minimal parking for a large event so make sure yo get there early for parking or prepare to pay per hour at public parking and walk a couple blocks to the center.

Great convention center, been to many different conferences here large and small, everything is well polished and even happy hour they use local beer. Its a large place but thats the point, surrounding neighborhood is abit rich but there are nice food choices, parking is ok also but a bit of walking.

5 dollars for a bottle of water. No water fountains. No outside food or drink allowed, and enforced by security at the events. I dont know about you but I would rather die than pay $5 for a bottle of water. DIE. I left with a dehydration head ache which is my fault I know, but I just could not bring myself to do it. So I paid the pric .

Went here for a 4 day conference and if another conference is hosted here again I would definitely consider it again. Plenty of restaurants and hotels nearby so that you don't need to rent a car if attending a conference here.

RTX was awesome but the convention security was not. Anytime you left the main floor you had to go through a TSA type screening which had a huge line. Seriously this does nothing for security. If you want to do this do it BEFORE people enter the building not before they enter a specific room.

The convention center is a good size for large events or multiple small ones. Food and drink selection is nice but you can expect to pay a premium. Conveniently located downtown easy walking distance to sixth street or lots of area restaurants. MetroRail station is right there.

Went here for the first time for SXSW and was impressed with the space. It's laid out in a way that even with a ton of people in there it feels spacious. All people we encountered were friendly enough and they let us stay after it was over when it was raining outside.

The Convention Center is functional. However, the exterior leaves much to be desired. It s oftentimes a ghost town, and would benefit from streetfront uses, such as restaurants, bars, retail, and so on.

The ACC is centrally located. Various hotels are nearby and the controversial Austin train stops in front of it. In the ACC there are reasonable toilets and all corridors can be reached via elevator and escalator

Now that the new Fairmont hotel is connected to it by a pedestrian bridge it is so much more accessible. Convention center is clean. Bathrooms are easy to find and Clean and the air conditioning is really cold which feels good in Texas triple digits.
