Convenient place for multiple Expos, but parking should be across the street. Hard for vendors to load and unload. Like visitors, to access you must walk outside the building to the entry of interest as multiple events may be going on simultaneously.

the farther up the convention center you go, the quicker the bathroom lines. tons of outlets for recharging everywhere, also tons of nooks on the balconies, so when you're all conferenced out, go get some fresh air somewhere!

The main venue of South by Southwest held every March.
From the Japanese perspective, it is a very large and large conference center.
There is also a simple office center inside.
However, it may be more comfortable to have a meeting or work at a cafe at the Hilton Hotel next door.

Attended for RTX 2014 and loved it. The event was crowded but the venue was more than adequate. The temperature was well controlled. The exhibition halls were partitioned effectively. The building was aesthetically pleasing to me. The presentation rooms had plenty of space and the proper equipment (sound systems and projectors). The parking however was difficult to get a hold of. I had to go with another random parking provider in the area.

I am a fan of the somewhat controversial architecture, and it is in a great location in the city with convenient rail service, but very limited parking. The venue is also less flexible than some other conference centers.

I have been to the Austin Convention Center for a dozen different events. Wear your comfortable sneakers if you are going to be there for 4 or more hours walking around. If you live in Leander or Cedar Park, the Austin MetroRail is super convenient and you can drop you at the convention center. Warning, there is no cell phone reception inside of ACC - put your device on airplane mode to conserve your battery. Also, if you bring a multi-outlet charging station with an extension cord, you will make lots of friends as there are very few electrical outlets inside of the convention center.

It's a convention centre so what can I say. It's huge. I'm sure it caters for my events so the experience is likely to differ depending on what you are there. Centrally located. Also beside the rail station. Connected to the Hilton hotel.

The Austin Convention Center is an awesome location for meetings. It was big and spacious. Everything was clean. The event that I attended was great. I really appreciate the convention center staff and their help. I look forward to working with them again in the future.

Way too big. We need to repurpose some of this space to meet the needs of Austin's indigent citizens, not a bunch of out of towners selling more STUFF. That's if we really care. 164 average sized houses would fit in there. But Council wants another notch on their Legacy Belts.

As a speaker for conventions and meetings and events, I will rate it based on that. It is huge, but it is easier to find rooms than Henry B. in SA. A few less amenities than other facilities. No tables of water, for example. And the walls between the 4th floor meeting rooms are temporary, thin, and bleed sound. That said, this is a great location to speak at. The tech is usually good and there are lots of spaces to meet up and do some work.

Aircondition was set too aggressive - it was hot outside and chilly (read freezing) inside. Does not make sense money wise or environment wise - you had to go there in speedo's, but wear full clothes AND a jacket inside ACC

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.
