$44.5 million Capital Improvement Plan

Tampa Convention Center has completed its largest renovation project in history: an approximately $44.5 million Capital Improvement Plan resulting in better customer experience, increased efficiency, and cost savings. Phase 2 of the project was finished on schedule in June 2023.

NEW  Waterfront Meeting Rooms


Spanning 18,000 square feet, this two-level addition provides 18 new meeting rooms overlooking the Hillsborough River. Room pairs include air walls for increased flexibility. The new waterfront rooms are accompanied by a terrace offering expansive views and outdoor space. Demolition was planned for non-event hours and construction walls will surround work areas to provide a sound barrier for noise elimination. A set of new restrooms and a second service elevator were added to advance facility operations and event needs.
