Raleigh Convention Center
Grand Opening is occurring this weekend. Took a tour yesterday, looks modern, clean, and should attract more businesses into downtown.
The facilities looks to be about a quarter the size of the combined Moscone Center (i.e., North, South, and West combined). I’d wager that the weak link in attracting major (international or even national) conferences is the airport, as Raleigh is neither a major destination nor a national hub.
One unique feature is the shimmer wall which is fun to look both at night and day.
