The City of Memphis embarked on a ground up transformation of the Renasant Convention Center. Located in downtown Memphis, every square inch of the convention center brings hotel quality finishes and modern amenities desired by meeting planners and delegates. The expansion of the building consist of outdoor terraces and glass enclosed concourses, pre-function and meetings spaces that embrace the river and skyline views, while adding valuable square footage that includes additional breakout meeting rooms.

Renovations also incorporated public art, added digital wayfinding, created a sense of arrival within the parking structure, and included four additional bays for Main Exhibit Hall load in and load out.
