The Walter E. Washington Convention Center has expanded! We have created an additional 40,000 square of flexible prime meeting space in several areas of the Convention Center, including the East and West Registration areas near the Grand Lobby and the upper levels overlooking 7th and 9th Streets. The project also includes new, custom-made carpeting, upgraded lighhting, electrical and sound systems, and features the installation of the state-of-the-art Skyfold® Partition Wall system. East and West Registration is now called East and West Salon. If you have questions about how the retrofit will impact your event, please send an e-mail to retrofit@dcconvention.com.
