The Los Angeles Convention Center hosts conventions, trade shows, exhibitions, corporate meetings and special events at 1201 South Figueroa Street in Downtown Los Angeles. The complex covers 2.4 million square feet in two buildings, South Hall and West Hall, with five exhibit halls and 64 meeting rooms. An organizer can book one meeting room for a board session or a full hall for a trade floor, and the largest hall is listed at 22,870 guests in theater seating.
Seminars and company events
For a corporate meeting, the 64 meeting rooms are the starting point. They are column-free and sit on Level 2.

Room 411 is a theater with 299 fixed upholstered seats and rear screen projection, which suits a plenary session or a product presentation. Attendees have a business center, charging stations, quiet working areas and on-site dining. Annual conferences can pair meeting rooms with an exhibit hall for a trade floor.
