Map Data Google

Phoenix Convention Center is a huge facility, expanded in 2008 to triple its original size. It has within it the largest ballroom in the state and one of the largest footprints for a convention center in the country. It is still sometimes referred to by its old moniker, Phoenix Civic Plaza. In addition to hosting conferences and conventions, there are many public events and trade shows hosted there throughout the year, including bridal shows, home shows, auto shows, sports experiences and more. Past events include Presidential Debates, MLB, NBA, NFL, and WWE. The Phoenix Convention Center was the focal point of the NFL Experience during the week preceding the 2015 Super Bowl. Regularly scheduled events include:

You can see this location marked on a Google map. From there you can zoom in and out, get driving directions if you need more specifics than mentioned above, and see what else is nearby.

Parking

You'll have to find street parking quite a few blocks away if you want to try to find free parking here (try south of the Phoenix Convention center, in the more industrial part of downtown). There is covered garage parking. Parking fees range from about $10 to $25, depending on the event and what else is going on in Downtown Phoenix at the time. I recommend that you know where in the convention center your event's entrance is located. The South Hall is several blocks from the North Hall!

A word about parking meters -- while there are parking meters near the Phoenix Convention Center, be aware that they operate seven days per week, no free parking at meters on weekends or holidays. Meters operate from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Time limits vary but some maximums are only two hours, so check the information on the meter first. Most downtown Phoenix meters now accept credit cards as well as coins. Still, I always keep about ten dollars in quarters in my car, just in case!
