Better practice your standing ovations.

The Raleigh Convention Center is designed around your professional needs. Every room and walkway is built to ensure your work flows smoothly and productively.

But no one can work forever. Step outside the Center and you're just steps away from the Progress Energy Center for the Performing Arts, home to the Best of Broadway shows, the nationally acclaimed Carolina Ballet, America's next great orchestra (North Carolina Symphony) and the region's top professional theater (North Carolina Theatre). You will also be just steps away from the Downtown Raleigh Amphitheater with a great show schedule April to October.
