Pennsylvania Convention Center Debuts New Executive Boardroom Meeting Space

Pennsylvania Convention Center Executive Boardroom

Philadelphia, PA – The Pennsylvania Convention Center [1] hosted a
ribbon cutting for its newly constructed, high-end executive boardroom
meeting space to meet the needs of corporate customers. The $2.25
million capital project entailed the conversion of underutilized space
in the facility that boasts impressive views of the city into one of the
largest boardroom meeting spaces in the region.    

“We have a number of customers who host board meetings in conjunction
with their annual conferences and trade shows,” said John McNichol,
President and CEO of the Pennsylvania Convention Center Authority.
“While we have a wide range of customizable meeting rooms and exhibit
hall spaces, we felt that a high-end conference room would really
enhance the customer experience and provide a state-of-the-art option
for hosting executive meetings. Very few convention centers offer a
conference room meeting space of this caliber, and we believe it sets us
apart from other facilities while enhancing our ability to attract
corporate clients.”  

The more than 1,700-square-foot room is enclosed by glass, providing
guests with an open feeling and a view of the city looking to the west.
Customers will have full access to the room’s state-of-the-art
technology including four large mobile LED monitor displays for
presentations, touchpads that connect to various meeting apps for easy
access to virtual meetings, and sophisticated camera, speaker, and
microphone systems. Additionally, the lighting options and room privacy,
via motorized shades, are fully customizable with the support of an
onsite AV technician.

A standout feature of the new boardroom is a custom-built light maple
conference table crafted by Paul Down Cabinetmakers of Bridgeport, PA.
The 40’ x 9’ table can comfortably seat 36 people and, in a nod to
the state’s heritage, the table’s legs are shaped like the
commonwealth’s keystone logo.

“The new boardroom is just one of the exciting enhancements to the
Pennsylvania Convention Center that are planned for this year,” said
Tony Hodgins, General Manager with ASM Global. “Our team is known for
being innovators and industry leaders in venue and event management, and
through our collaborative efforts with the Authority, the Pennsylvania
Convention Center will continue to be the premier venue for meetings and
events.”
