Houston offers top-notch convention facilities for events of any size. The variety of options makes Houston a natural choice for meetings — exquisite arts centers, a Texas-sized convention center, world-famous sports arenas and a tropical oasis.
In addition to the famous Astrodome, there's also the George R. Brown Convention Center, the Compaq Center, the Lone Star Convention & Expo Center and the South Shore Harbor Resort. All of these centers offer ample meeting space for exhibits, business seminars and other group functions.

The George R. Brown Convention Center is the city’s major convention hall providing close to 500,000 square feet of meeting and exhibit space. Located in the middle of downtown Houston, the George R. Brown is a 6,600-seat arena that accommodates concerts, religious presentations, corporate meetings and sporting events. Travelers attending an event at the George R. Brown should select digs in downtown Houston.
The South Shore Harbour Resort, located in League City (halfway between Houston and Galveston) is also a great place for conferences and events. South Shore Harbour is an entity unto itself. Other than nearby Kemah, the hotel is League City’s main attraction - and rightfully so. Guests at South Shore Harbour will find an endless list of amenities from which to choose. Whether you’re visiting for business or pleasure, the South Shore has everything to suit you - from access to a 70,000-square-foot fitness center and 27 holes of golf to the 1,000-slip marina and a 185-foot tropical pool with swim-up bar. And that’s not even scratching the surface.
