Well organized, clean, and thoughtfully arranged, which added to the overall great experience. Thanks read more

We came here for a large volleyball tournament. Overall, I would say that the facilities are beautiful, there was plenty of restrooms, which is very important. I have limited parking, which is one downfall of the convention center because of its location. I do wish they had better food option but they were mostly food trucks outside. Overall, though this was a very nice convention center. read more

It's really beautiful inside. Very spacious. However, they're parking is ridiculous. The advertised $10 parking and then charge you $21 instead. Still waiting to see if I'm going to have to dispute this with my bank. If I need to go back for any events I will be parking across the river and taking the ferry going forward. read more

Attended Licensed Professional Counselor conference at this facility. It is truly a beautiful facility. Food was delicious. I especially enjoyed the fact that it was not freezing cold in the rooms :) as someone who's always cold, I appreciated that. read more

Savannah Convention Center - Convention center - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

My couple Yelp followers aren't the crowd deciding to hold their conferences at places, so if you're coming it's likely you're "assigned". But heads-up this will be a nicer convention experience than most. Temporarily overlooking the construction as they double the size, Savannah made a unique riverfront experience. You're separated from the parties across the water, but no fear: the free ferry runs 7-10 with extended hours weekends/special times, and during conferences. This allows revelry further into the night (but not too far, as the ferry master captain said, or you'll "see that last boat getting smaller and smaller when you missed it"). Plenty of parking if you decide to drive, and if you're there daily see ferry note above as it may be cheaper to park in the city and ferry it over. The staff were hospitable which is a welcomed change from some city centers who make you feel like the opposite. It's an easy ride share from the airport. Nice job Savannah. read more

I think this location has great potential. It has gorgeous views and the ferry make it easy to get to. However, it is not super accessible, the meeting rooms are spread far apart from the ball room and for folks with mobility issues it makes it difficult to get around. Catering was great and the folks that work there are absolutely wonderful. read more

Travelled down from Charleston for a convention this past weekend. FYI - heavy construction going on and so parking is very limited. Very. Limited. The convention was a great success. Lots of people and vendors to occupy a few hours of my time. The view across the river is really nice too for when I had to step out and get some fresh air. Nice scenic park area with benches to watch the boats go by. Overall, a good first experience at this convention center. Would come back again for an event, but will enjoy it more when the construction has been completed. read more

I came here for the Savannah Tattoo Convention. My artist came from NC so we could do a tattoo I've been wanted. You can either ferry across the river or drive over the bridge and park. We decided to drive over the bridge and park. But the traffic was insane for the event. The convention center was very nice and clean. They set up the convention center really well. It wasn't difficult to clear and get in. They gave the option to pay for a multi day pass or a single day and offered military discounts. read more

Stayed at the Westin right next door for 4 days for a conference, and most of our meetings were held here in the adjoining conference center. It's a short walk with both indoor and outdoor access, and the ferry also stops right behind it. It's a quite large space, and the meeting rooms and the auditorium are both very nice, clean and well kept, as are the restrooms. They have a business center and even vending machines on the main level, for convenience. Nice workers staff the hallways and everyone was friendly and helpful. They also have brochures and guide maps in the lobby for tourists, and beautiful, interesting artwork adorns the walls. I travel a lot for work and this is definitely one of the nicest convention centers I've experienced. read more

This venue has a stunning view of the river and River Street. There are large corporate events like KOA and Gulf Stream. And open to the public events like the Rock n' Roll Marathon or Low Country Home and Garden Show. I've heard that Christmas Made in The South is super cool. They offer a variety of room sizes including smaller rooms. Surprisingly, they even hold wedding here. They have a full kitchen and serving staff so events and such can have food. It can be low key like lunches or elaborate meals with linens and table clothes. There is plenty of parking. They offer $5 parking on the 4th of July and a perfect spot to watch fireworks. It's an older faculty but they work hard to keep it clean. And a total renovation and expansion is coming soon. The ferry ride from downtown to the Center is free. read more

Very nice facility. Lovely location right on the river. If you're staying at the Westin it is super convenient. If you're not staying there...that's a different story. I'm not a fan of the access to the Center. When I was there recently, I was told by several people NOT to drive because there wasn't much parking and traffic was a nightmare. So by default, I decided to take the ferry. The ferry may be quaint, but it's inefficient. Standing in line to wait for a ferry to get there and then return is a giant waste of time in my book. When you have people visiting the city, you'd rather have their free time spent shopping or eating. I can tell you I had no economic impact on the city while I waited in line for the boat. That's an hour when I could have been buying Paula Deen cookbooks or sampling items at the Peanut Shop. So even though the place is nice, it's not a place I'd recommend holding any type of event due to the restricted access. --Caveat-- I am an impatient, uptight Northerner so I wanted to give context for my comments read more

My first visit to Savannah involved me stopping by the Convention Center to pick up my race packet. I did not know what to expect from my first marathon experience, but Savannah definitely made it a great one. After missing the exit to the island (it comes up on you pretty quick when you are on US 17) we came back over the bridge and exited. The convention center itself seems fairly new and modern. Everything was very organized (this was also my first "Rock'n'Roll" running event) so the scale of everything was pretty huge. The part of the convention center the expo was in was pretty massive with a lot of vendors. What is so great about the convention center is that it is right on the water - it allows for ferry access to the downtown Savannah area, but because it is right on the water - logistics can get a bit complicated. Luckily we were able to get to the island before they shut down vehicle traffic, but there is plenty of parking for regular events. read more

This is a huge conferece center right across the beautiful Savannah River. It is located on the other side of the river from the beautiful old European style city of Savannah! One can take the Ferries across the river or drive on the cool and high-in-the-sky Talmadge Memorial brigde. The convention center has a lot of rooms and hallways to host big conferences and meeting. The Westin Hotel is right beside the center and has nice golf area. read more

Visited for a conference. This place still looks appealing. The upkeep on the building, rooms, and decor has been great.

As far as large, box-style convention centers go, Savannah's is modern and well laid-out. Plenty of doors and access points, plenty of bathrooms, and lots of natural light streaming in from the edges onto large hallways that have plenty of signage to get you where you need to go. The place is well-maintained and little concession booths on the edges offer a small selection of drinks and packaged snacks. The issue here is the fact that getting to this convention hall requires either a drive across the bridge or ride across the river on a ferry boat (unless you happen to be staying at the Westin, which is just steps next door). The convention hall is actually on Hutchinson Island, just across the river from the downtown area. While this makes for some great view from the Hall, it means that coming and going requires some more effort that just walking from most hotels or inns. While the ferry ride is nice enough, the waiting more than outlasts the actual ride across the water. And given the lack of parking (especially dress parking options) Savannah seems to always have, moving the car is just "one more thing" to deal with. Still, the building and the views make this a nice place to visit, even if you can't just walk to the front door. So, when business requires, I'll just budget in more time for arrival and departure when it's time to visit the Hall again. read more

This place is beautiful and great. I come here every year for a family members gymnastics meet and the place is great and very big. This year down stairs there was a big boat convention and wow it was amazing. There are some downs tho the escalator on the side we wanted to go was being repaired. Also the mens bathroom on the second floor was out of order and the women's bathroom room on the first floor was out of order. read more

Here for TEDx and as always the SIT didn't let me down. The place is clean and accommodating. The food was appropriate for the occasion and fresh. And scenery is one of the best in Savannah. I enjoy any event I attend here! read more

Wow.... The view of the riverfront historic district is beautiful. I'm working at The Women's Show for the weekend and I'm hoping to be back next year. The venue itself is nice. I haven't ventured upstairs, but the room we're in is spacious and Southern Shows did a great job decorating. There's a Westin hotel next door and a ferry that runs every 30min to the Riverfront. read more

I was very impressed with this facility. It was nice and clean even with all the high traffic that came in over the two day event I was there. read more

I attended my graduation here . The venue was really nice and spacious . The only thing I would suggest is signs for where to park and on the side street leading to the venue . It was king of awkward having to drive through a dirt road to get to venue. Need some signs to give better directions to people who are it familiar with the area read more

I went to this place for an event the food was Sensational.I really had to compliment one of the staff members that does quite a bit of the cooking with the rest of the team ...Johnathan great personality ,exceptional person fabulous cook... very humbled also didn't take credit for anything ,he said him and his team did it...that goes to show you that this person is a team player!!!! read more

Georgia knows convention & conference centers. This is not my first time attending a conference in Savannah, but my first time at this facility. Easy to get to by car, and the tug boat style taxis run every 20 to 30 minutes. Breath taking views of the river, so break time was envious. Love listening to the hourly bells. something you do not here every day or every where. Bring a sweater, it is cold inside. Great lighting in the break out rooms. Clean bathrooms. Hotel accommodations next door to the center or across the river. Riverfront is chuck full of restaurants and shops, bring money. Who can resist a souvenir from Historical Savannah. read more

Byo toilet paper. There are weird contraptions in the bathrooms and they won't dispense toilet paper. I have a lot of anxiety about bathrooms anyway and I am stuck at the trade center today and feeling sick to my stomach. The custodian is laughing at me. This is my worst nightmare. read more

I appreciate the many restrooms. The exhibit space is large. Most events I have attended are in the very last large space, furthest from the front door. The greatest negative is for those in my family with orthopedic problems. It is difficult to walk from the parking lot to the front door, then down a very long corridor to the last room. By then, most of our energy we could have used enjoying the vendors or other aspects of the event has been used up. Something has to be saved to go back to the parking lot. Why was it designed this way? read more
