The Phoenix Convention Center is stepping into 2026 with a series of significant improvements designed to elevate the guest experience and keep the facility looking fresh.\u00a0<\/p>\n
From refreshed interiors to cutting-edge technology, the upgrades span multiple levels and areas of the facility. Visitors will notice new furniture throughout the prefunction lobbies and brand-new carpet installations across key spaces, including the Lower Level, West Building 200 and 300 levels, and the West Building Arcade. Additional carpet installations for the North Building 100 and 200 levels are scheduled for spring 2026.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are committed to constantly improving our facility,\u201d said Assistant Director Bob Fingerman. \u201cWe want every attendee to feel the quality and care that goes into maintaining our incredible venue.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Other enhancements include new exterior trash cans, AV upgrades, and LED display walls in the Lower Level, which will provide dynamic visual capabilities for events. Performance spaces are also getting a boost with new stages for meetings and entertainment, along with assembly tables, banquet tables, and even a new dance floor to accommodate a variety of event formats.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Accessibility remains a priority, with the installation of a wheelchair lift, ensuring that all guests can enjoy the venue\u2019s offerings.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
One of the most striking additions will be exterior uplighting on 3rd Street, set for installation in February and March. This feature will allow the Phoenix Convention Center to illuminate its exterior walls and windows with an array of vibrant colors, creating a striking presence in downtown Phoenix.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThis uplighting project is going to transform the way people see the Convention Center at night,\u201d Fingerman added. \u201cIt\u2019s not just functional\u2014it\u2019s a statement piece for us. We want to be able to highlight our beautiful facility even after the sun goes down.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Phoenix Convention Center spent roughly $5 million for these projects, highlighting the facility\u2019s prioritization of maintaining the venue\u2019s reputation as a premier destination for meetings and events.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Phoenix Convention Center is stepping into 2026 with a series of significant improvements designed to elevate the…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":600748,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5131],"tags":[5229,5643,1587,24577,1589,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-600747","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-phoenix","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-arizona","10":"tag-az","11":"tag-convention-center","12":"tag-phoenix","13":"tag-united-states","14":"tag-united-states-of-america","15":"tag-unitedstates","16":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","17":"tag-us","18":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116096663094258404","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/600747","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=600747"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/600747\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/600748"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=600747"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=600747"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=600747"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
