Palm Springs Convention Center, Palm Springs

Site of the fabulous Palm Springs Film Festival Gala, as well as of many conference events and exhibits, the Palm Springs Convention Center is a 245,000 sq ft (22,800 m2) convention center located in the downtown area. Architect William Pereira designed the original building in 1974. In 2005, the Convention Center completed a massive expansion, adding over 100,000 sq ft (9,300 m2). It can accommodate groups from 12 to 12,000 people. The new design, by Fentress Architects, pulls colors and design elements from the surrounding desert. Additional meeting space is available at the attached 410 room convention hotel.
