Washington, D.C. Coordinates. The Walter E. Washington Convention Center is a 2,300,000-square-foot (210,000 m2) convention center located in Washington, D.C., USA, owned and operated by the city's convention arm, Events DC.
This is what convention centers do. They bring together people with the narrowest of interests to inspire and challenge each other. And of course, to sell stuff to each other. Jeffrey Blosser, the CEO of the Washington State Convention Center in downtown Seattle, says all that trade brings $330 million to the region. But he says we turn away $200 million a year because our convention center is too small for the biggest conventions. For example, a convention of emergency room physicians recently turned down Seattleâs facility.
