About us

Sacramento’s convention center, now the SAFE Credit Union Convention Center, is getting an extreme makeover featuring a dynamic center for conventions, meetings, and cultural experiences. Construction on the expansion and renovation was able to continue throughout 2020 in order to meet the scheduled reopening of early 2021. While the pandemic continues, plans are being put in place to ensure the health and safety of staff and meeting attendees. The new facility features an expanded exhibit hall and new ballroom that will enhance the usability of the space and add more options for meeting planners. This entire transformation will offer more than 240,000 square feet of programmable space, which includes 160,000 square feet of exhibit space, a new 40,000-square-foot ballroom, 37 breakouts, 79,100 square feet of meeting space, and a 15,300-square-foot outdoor activities plaza. Reopening is scheduled for February 2021; the new ballroom will open in spring 2021.
