Venue guides
Convention Centers
Guides to the cities and venues where exhibitors spend the most time.
According to Wikipedia, "a convention center is a large building that is designed to hold a convention, where individuals and groups gather to promote and share common interests. Convention centers typically offer sufficient floor area to accommodate several thousand attendees." Most States in the USA have multiple convention centers, according to this list. And, there are even more across the world.
