The Rhode Island Convention Center is host to many public and trade events, conferences, meetings and galas each year. The Center is part of a complex that includes the Westin Hotel and the North Parking Garage. The South Parking Garage is “under” the Convention Center.

The Show will be held in Hall A at the Western end of the Exhibit Hall Level and the end closest to the Dunkin Donuts Center. The sunfilled glass lobby is right at the top of the escalators from the street level.

Parking is easy in the North Parking Garage and there are double doors directly into the complex on the 4th floor at the East end of the Parking Garage that take you into a hall that directly accesses the Westin Hotel and the Exhibitor Hall level of the Rhode Island Convention Center.

Many restaurants, shopping and other attractions surround the Center.
