“One of the most unique features - and sell- ing points - of the Pennsylvania Convention Center is our location in the heart of Center City Philadelphia. We have more than 14,000 hotel rooms and hundreds of restau- rants, shops, historical attractions, and cul- tural institutions all within walking distance of our facility. We have the largest ballroom in the Northeast, as well as the beautiful and historic Grand Hall, converted from the historic Reading Terminal train shed. Another unique aspect of our center is that our 2011 expansion, the West Wing, received a LEED-Gold Certification.” - Kelvin D. Moore, CMP, SMG regional general manager serv- ing the Pennsylvania Convention Center
