Cleveland Convention Center Will Expand in Time for ASAE’s 2024 Annual Meeting

This will be a $49 million expansion

From August 5-8, the American Society of Association Executives (ASAE) will hold its 2023 Annual Meeting & Exposition in Atlanta. Once it ends, Cleveland will be on the clock to prepare for that citywide event’s next iteration, happening in Ohio’s lakefront city from August 10-13, 2024.

Part of Cleveland’s preparation for the more than 2,500 association executives and planners coming to town includes the July 2024 completion of a $49 million expansion of the event space at the Huntington Convention Center. First, the facility’s Atrium Ballroom will be enlarged to 22,000 square feet, making it the largest room on property besides the 32,000-square-foot Grand Ballroom.

Further, at least half a dozen new breakout rooms will be created, as will an elevated outdoor terrace that looks over much of downtown. On the opposite side of the center, multi-story windows (image at bottom) will give attendees wide views of the huge green space known as The Mall, including its renowned Fountain of Eternal Life. Other infrastructure improvements at the center will include new meeting-room technology, new escalators, new central staircases and new restrooms.
