Welcome to the Connecticut Convention Center – a beautiful new, northeast destination for high quality events that demand stunning views, outstanding service and excellent cuisine.

Conveniently located in historic Hartford, the Center is now the largest meeting place between New York and Boston. With exceptional highway and airport access, the city offers a walkable experience, full of arts, diverse culture, fine dining and nightlife.

And of course, there’s history around every corner. Within an hour’s drive, the state brims with world-class gaming and entertainment, championship fishing and golf, and attractions for every interest.

We look forward to exceeding your expectations and creating a memorable experience for you, your guests, your vendors and exhibitors that will ensure your return to Connecticut again and again.

Sincerely,

Michael Costelli
General Manager
