Cafes and waterfront gathering areas, including The Sail waterfront restaurant and bar and boat docks —and visitors can see what makes the Tampa Convention Center one of the premier conference facilities in the Southeast.
In addition to the facility’s features and amenities, the Tampa Convention Center’s central location gives visitors direct access to some of the city’s top hotels, restaurants, and attractions. With so much to explore both inside and outside the Tampa Convention Center, we hope you will come experience this riverfront gem for yourself and see what makes it a destination to discover.
