Durham Convention Center, managed by Spectra Venue Management, is premier event and meeting space located in the heart of downtown Durham. Our event space consists of two ballrooms, meeting rooms, and boardrooms, that can easily accommodate large conventions, multi-day meetings, single day events, and private boardroom meetings. Attendees can enjoy the walk-ability of featured downtown restaurants, unique hotels, local shops, and culturally rich art.
Their catering food is in good quality. The service is also good. Had a good time attending the conference here.

My job held a retreat here today, and the food was awesome. The staff was friendly. It was very clean, but it was a little warm in one of the ballrooms.

We held an international meeting at DCC. Had about 130 attendees: nothing but rave reviews from all attendees. Friendly helpful staff, great facility and outstanding food.

Dance competition held there. Very wonderful people working for the center. Very cold in area for the event, which was good for the dancers.
Fun fact, no outside food allowed. There is an attached Marriott to the center, but discovered that if you purchase a soft drink in the Marriott at the bar next to the door to the convention center, you will not be allowed to take that soft drink into the center. I ended up having the most expensive 1/2 soft drink ever, as I had to throw away my beverage in order to go inside to watch my daughter's dance.
Another fun fact. Seems that parking in the deck on weekends is free. This was a wonderful unexpected treat. Check on this one before parking though.

Great location for dance convention and competition. We like the parking ramp across the street. Easy access and felt safe. The convention facilities are very nice and well maintained.

The showcase was very informative! Thank you so much for putting it together. Getting to talk to the principals, assistant principals, teachers, and other staff of our schools is very comforting and gives us, parents, a better point of view into the school culture.
