The David L. Lawrence Convention Center raises the bar to a new level for meeting and exhibit space, services and amenities. Located in the hub of Pittsburgh’s cultural, business and entertainment district, the Center effectively blends unparalleled functionality with cutting-edge technology to offer meeting planners, exhibitors and attendees an unforgettable meeting experience. The $375 million facility is the cornerstone to western Pennsylvania’s hospitality industry and truly a design and engineering gem.

Also, the Center is the first and largest certified “green” convention center “green” in the world and is the only meeting venue to be awarded the Gold LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) by the U.S. Green Building Council.

The Center, which opened in 2003, is owned and managed by the Sports and Exhibition Authority of Pittsburgh and Allegheny County.
